two lone peonies
big pink floppy tousled heads
enough for this nose

I needed something profound
and you showed me a sunken ship
the depths of which I had never known
but that is so like you
shining other people's lights
for me to see the way
checking out poets I follow, led me to more light than I expected

bending and reaching
in the sunshine and fresh air
she hangs up the clothes
I long to have a clothesline and live in the country. Right now I am a city dweller. Hanging laundry on a cyclone fence bordering this duplex.

injured a spider
trying to get it outside
begged its forgiveness

I want your fingers digging into my skin.
I want freedom.
In the darkness of your eyes hides the light of God’s,
shaking with fright after it saw what your mind is capable of doing.
Free me.

i write to forget about you,
but every sentence,
every word,
and every letter
turns and shifts and twists
and searches and cries
and screams
for you,
but i write.
