night songs
Singing
We explore our song of love,
with words that find our joys,
we trace our rhythms and a key,
we make new verses,
solve new rhymes,
and whisper codas in the dark,
and murmur of beginnings
as we drift to sleep.

you had to be there…
Look at that
Gosh,
crimson for my eyes,
candy for my lips,
orange peal for my ears,
the tree’s a treat,
leave it at that.

imagining a dawn…
Scarcely day
It’s early morn again,
I see that day has chased the dawn,
the bland sky is one dimension,
no color, no cloud,
no excitement in the sky,
day has come,
I make a dawn in my mind,
too soon to think about tomorrow.

just common sense
Licking the bowl
Some baker somewhere
scattered cinnamon on the sky,
it’s baked in now,
it’s a cookie dawn,
sweet layers of light,
what a treat!

the lust for words…
goût
Words can be a feast.
There is a lust for words
that dances round the page,
and waits for you,
for me,
it doesn’t hide,
it lingers for the last little word,
the glittering one
that leaps from the quill,
and fills the plate,
and waits for you,
for me,
to taste the shine…

remember the urgent joy…
no mo’
…of course there’s no harm
to thrill in the doing of the thing,
“the last time” are tempting words
that rush too quickly to my lips,
I hear their echo
as I rush to the finish,
and only then
do I wonder
why I don’t remember
the urgent joy
of the first time,
and the rich learning
of all the other times,
and now I see
that the last time
is, of course, a rare moment,
but I want so little of it…
