very beautiful


in check
a list of words,
spittle drawn in lucid
curves by a gentle tongue, poems un-
covered

covered
wagons, papered
shelves and scented drawers
what were once cliches, now rich stuffed
with thought

with thought
supper is planned
as an appetizer
for the filling stuff that follows
dessert

dessert
reminds me of
fluffy clouds of crushed ice
or radiant golden circles
just so

just so
you know this is
not a poem. No sir,
don't accuse me of such a crime
in rhyme.

in rhyme
I thought I heard
pigeons and the downspout
first one, then the other, cooing
in rain

in rain
hail,snow or storm
fidelity demands
us thorns to stand by the side of
roses

roses
token flowers
emblems of the worthy
velvet yield wildly substantial
for love

for love
I yield not my
heart's deepest murmurings
yet still I tread through white waters
for love

quite a beautiful meditation on faithfulness, mazHur...

for love
sweet desertion
of baseless commitments,
faceless assertions of stolen
live flames

Live flames
damage nothing
when lit in empty rooms;
mine’s cluttered, and arsonists live
next door.

Next door,
near the gum tree,
to the left of the boat,
sits a little boy, waiting to
play soon.

play soon
not soon enough
to ford the seven seas
capture crooks and gun-slingers
all told
