her limbs extended

she floated in the deep end

buoyant full of breath

studio nocturne

how i inhabit you now

wandering with tea

29/336

sun through my eyelids
pulsates between fleeting trees
trundling ahead

little wooden boat

fearful of losing anchor

in approaching storms

pre-dawn sun strengthens

permeating sheer curtains

my eyes ache today

from many hours of driving

to impart knowledge

25/340

now the planning mind

leaves little room for dreaming

breathing helps balance

that bruise on your hip

makes me feel crazy with love

i'll watch it vanish

chick-a-dee-dee-dee

crusty ice breaks beneath us

revealing a stream

22/343

after my absence

we slipped into deep slumber

my daughter, my love

returning home now

with orion as my guide

clear and perfect night

the winter orchard

emits subtle warm color

awaiting spring's warmth

the morning light grew

while shiva's cast shadow danced

upon silk curtains

18/347

lumbering mountains

in their haunches i am safe

surrender now. sleep.

the loons are gone now

faintly a ghost call echoes

through your deep slumber

don't walk down that street

the house on 5th is haunted

dead weeds surround it

thank you yo-yo ma

finger-like notes caress me

darkness falls away

14/351

raw tin energy

hungry metallic tongue rests

warm hidden secrets

his sculpted forehead

soft skin pulls over strong planes

like a dinosaur

12/353

bird tree stripped bare now

the tufted titmouse perches

lofty feathers puffed

11/354

i imagine now

french spaceships loom above me

their arc pulls me up

10/355

the gap that remains

a smooth slot for your tongue

a perfect baby tooth

9/356

abstract helplessness

is there nothing I can do

for that little girl

8/357

it's snowing again

light flakes are softly dancing

beautiful chaos

hawk premonition

invisible heat rider

capturing my gaze

Rembrandt won't forget

hidden in paneled alcoves

stolen memories

cool winter light spreads

raking across my paper

tactile suede texture

listen to the wind

listen to the trees swaying

listen to the air

winter white tulips

reveal between pure petals

a gash of crimson

roar of distant plows

we linger in our soft bed

first snow of the year

scarlet cardinal

fire on cold, snow-white branches

harbinger of hope
