She speaks
truth
only
and feels
the immense
resistance and
defence
the guarding
of locked-up things
that call her
over the heads of
the defender
okay so
not the time yet

she has to repeat
to herself and the things
not the time
yet

...

Me
In the midst of
a minefield no
headphones nothing
and this time
so be it
This time I'm
not doing
the mine dance
Not avoiding the mines, cause I can't.

Roses atop spun gold
Sea-green eyes so still with love
Songs are sparrow-sweet


This haiku is dedicated to the muse, Erato.
I feel such a kinship with her as she is the muse of lyrical poetry.
Here's the link for the growing collection:

Much love,
Lyn 💜
"enough of this lollygagging"
i say to my wife as i leave for my hospital job
"there are lives to save"
and as soon as i lock up my bike at work
i run into a woman stuck on the sidewalk
trying and failing to make it up the hill
"my chest hurts real bad"
i fetch a wheelchair and push her up that hill
delivering her to the emergency room
man am i connected to the universe

i saw glaciers in your eyes,
icy plains and lost streams.
i felt you fill my lungs
your salt water burning
with each new breath,
drowning in you
with every exhale.

waiting amongst them,
bitter smile in the rain, like

The sea reflects a silver trail
To that vast starry envelope
An unrequited yearning
like my midnight dreams
I sleep under the moon
and know the names of each star

when I am awake
the sun burns my skin
and the blue skies drown me

I know I belong to the night

You we're my sunshine
But then I remembered that the sun doesn't just shine for one person.
