"guesting" poems
guesting is easy
it's easy, my friends
no need to be anything
but open in heart
receiving each gift
each gift after gift
guesting is easy
it's so easy, my friends
guesting is easy
but hosting is pleasing
to give and to give
to reach back and reach out
your hand full and then empty
empty and then full
guesting is easy
but hosting so much more pleasing
guesting is easy
hosting is pleasing
both acts of love
of giving and receiving
one gets to take
the other gets to give
one grateful for gifts
the other grateful for company
guesting is easy
it's so easy, my friends

Under the curse
There is a loss of humour :
Childlike excitement is friction in memory
and become
a tinnitus of love
upon your compressed exhaustion
It takes a persistence
the insistence of the stubborn
a guesting
to transverse the yawn within
to make you a new spell
This could bring about your
day-to-day skills and willingness
Regain the hum
Observe the silliness and the tune of your make
Recognise the scope
and think a smile.
