Poetry?
in the shadow beauty
in the shadow beauty
the scent in summer breeze
evening sun forever
sprinkle my ashes
sprinkle my ashes
where weeds in icy streamings flow
there is so much more to feel
they pulled off their shirts
they pulled off their shirts
the light through their chests shone dark
dreams slowly gathered
she must have been
she never told me
she loved me
she must have been better
than me
at keeping secrets
Can you keep a secret
Can you keep a secret,
tight-lipped, tight-tongued, tight-throated?
Can you keep a secret
with your life?
I can’t.
I blab when I know
I’m not meant to,
I tease and trail excitement
at far too soon a time.
Can you keep a secret?
I can’t.
The only way to keep me quiet
is to
I saw you and was conquered
I saw you
and was conquered
sand defences between the tidelines
inevitably washed away
the guilty moon reflected
on the convex waves
the concaves between each hinting trouble
foam on the beach my and their undoing
castles on the cliff edge
slipped to nothing
I saw you
and was conquered
Five sunflowers
five sunflowers in a lemon-yellow vase
cat tiger-striped on the rug in the sun
Sunday afternoon is easy
Broken down
broken down at the side of the road
impatience, frustrations bubble
the butterfly does not notice
we flourished
we flourished in the sun
harvesting one another’s flowers
and now we feed tomorrow’s fields
