you can carry them with you
wherever you go
drag them across the earth
but they will only take
where the soil is right.
it can be years of looking
and prodding
before you find the patch
that's right.
but when you do
the roots will take immediately,
and you'll grow again

everything she is
sounds like poetry, music
a life lived in dream

surface tension-
a drop of rainwater
caresses a leaf

walking through forest-
i close my eyes and enjoy
birds and wind singing

she learned early on
it was to be her own coat
that would keep her warm

enter like the Sun
a false pretense or habit
no matter, you're here

radiate your life
just don't touch me anymore
I cannot be moved

what lies in the night
when you are away from me
it makes no sense

coolness and Moonlight
the abundance of the stars
cicada play slow

dehydration
alarm clocks blink noon
blacked out evidence
