Berries
Summer’s full embrace: /
heat, sun, blooms, rain, love, berries. /
Time kisses ripeness.

A part apart
Us apart, a part /
of us still locked down because /
of a lack of love.

Love
Is love hard as stone /
or supple as a paint stroke? /
Does it grind or flow?

Rebirth
Life is born in pain /
Reborn within each crisis. /
Love anew again.

Flickering
Next remembers nothing /
Of the world it inherited /
From yesterday’s dreams /
Burning brightly but shortly /
On a stack of birthday cake. /
Take all the kindness /
And burn away the sorrow:
One flame for regret /
One flame for forgetfulness /
Two for forgiveness: one outer/
And one inner /
One flame for the quiet that may never come /
One flame for all left not done. /
And maybe one for love stretched over the decades /
Flickering still on this least of holy nights.

Plead
From the depths of space /
The pale blue dot pleads again: /
Love the one you’re with.

Hanging the Moon
Let us hang the Moon /
Tonight and forever: /
You, me, Sun, and Love.

Life
Life is sorrowful/
But fool that I truly am /
I love you, always.

Possum love
The night was fulsome. /
The opossum was hungry. /
Bird seed made a feast.

Staggers
Moon staggers above /
Full of my love and regrets, /
Mythic and foolish.
