My dashboard lit up

August 2, 2020September 17, 2020 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

My dashboard lit up
like a Christmas tree roadside
when my mechanic arrived.

your mask hides

July 28, 2020July 28, 2020 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

your mask hides your smile

but still how I’m struck

to see your eyes laughing

nearly completely

July 23, 2020 / simonsalento / 2 Comments

nearly completely

is how you described your love

nearly but not quite

Today I am happy

July 17, 2020July 17, 2020 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

Today I am happy for a number of reasons.

One: Lightning bolts do not always chase you.

Two: There are more than seven seas.

Three: You, my friend, exist.

he smiled the smile
that made hearts rainbow bounce
full
generous
and just for you

KEEP YOUR SOCIAL DISTANCE

KEEP YOUR SOCIAL DISTANCE

in public at least

 

I see you there

June 12, 2020 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

I see you there

in the velvet spaces

between the snow and pines

always there

June 11, 2020 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

always there

in the expectant peace

between tide-driven waves

you are there

June 10, 2020 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

you are there

in the silence

between heartbeats

How do I know

June 2, 2020 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

How do I know you are gone?

The basil is flowering.
