skin sun hot, salt streaked
roof terrace shower ice shock
light slants; we make our own rainbows
sun
until the sun
mine
in the summer
until the sun fell

in the shadow beauty
in the shadow beauty
the scent in summer breeze
evening sun forever
we flourished
we flourished in the sun
harvesting one another’s flowers
and now we feed tomorrow’s fields
first rays
first rays tore the night
stories filled all people’s hearts
suddenly the dark
waiting for the event
southern sun cracks flagstones
northern wind cracks flags
old men sit in black shadow
wearing scarves
sun low
sun low
wind a knife
every day half a sky is held
The electric light
the electric light was outside the window
and suddenly snapped off
I lay on my back
and from the corner of my eye
saw the sun rise
day and night I know that you care
no sun nor rain
a rainbow arced
dampened voices
sing in the dark
day and night I know you are there
day and night I know that you care
Going on a date with a poet
One day, he swore,he would explore the west, track the settled sun until it surrendered to the blind-black sky, then follow its path by its reflection in the moon and stars. I shall be a solarnaut, a helionaut, an explorer of the wildest west, where the rivers meet the sanded sea, and the animals finally swim to their nirvana, eyes wide open to the shining ribbon on the squid-ink sea.
Well, I think the light over the gasworks is pretty neat, I said, regretting again going on a date with a poet.
