if i’m not an artist what
on earth am I?
if i’m not an artist why
am i here?
if i’m not an artist now
then when?
if i’m not an artist why
can’t I be?
Am I an artist?

Eat
i become
very aware
of my chewing
when there
is somebody
**** in the
room.
Aware of that someone is a stray but let me finish my lunch

Having slept, the cat gets up,
yawns, goes out
to make love.

Summer night--
even the stars
are whispering to each other.

Love isn't blind,
blind are those,
who never loved.

calm


          part 1

          im containing this earthquake of anxiety in my heart
          while i
          wait
          until your eyes step into my view.


          part 2

          brain pulsing
          the eyes step into mine
          &
          then nothing else exists other than you


          part 3
          
          i hear one butterfly wings clap in my soul.
          nothing. tremors calm under my skin.
Figuring out how I feel about her
Will they like me more than that
Can I be good enough
