meanwhile

When the sun sets for me,
and it rises in my home.

Stars

marietta Nov 2013

Stars

Lights from home
walk on our journeys;

Reach beyond the lights of the city.

-

I could hold hands with the stars,
come around, look down
While you look up.

We're not alone.

You ran back home

marietta Nov 2013

You ran back home

What I would give for those moments of truth,
accompanied by daffodils, tears, marking our youth

sleep again

marietta Oct 2013

sleep again

Travellers, we make our nests where we land

-

may dreams stay wherever you are; Close your eyes and go home

stories of the self

stories of the self

The words I wrote can hurt me.
She wrote to forget,
I read and remember.

Old almond gifts can make eyes tear
when we try and turn them into onions.

Suction

Suction

Sometimes I hear the air in your voice
and it cuts the air in me.

The blues can build holes
In the depths of your cavities,
Feed desires and sweeten the lonesome.

Moth

Moth

They said
                moths are attracted
                                                 to the light
                                          but she's not very bright.

Conversion

Conversion

We made magic, dear;
The gift of your little day
turned into a little year.

Silent drums are loud
Celebrations of the mind,
Water, sliding chairs.
