    kissing over café bars
    you wipe lipstick from
    my lips with your thumb

    leaning over
    hungry for more
    you chide and say
    just a taste because
    patience is important
    even in the dream

  • halcyon days

    those halcyon days
    we slipped beneath
    wrapped in wave
    and calm, in the before of
    those days we summered
    tangled in locust drone
    in high elms lagging
    speaking softly in
    summer fade with
    our ghostselves in haze
    waiting for to begin

  • under star

    sleeping spoon under star
    blue moon, turquoise nights
    running whitewater overhead
    everything path stays on path
    running shadowed forest
    embraced of moment's arms

  • daybreak sends

    to quell all dreaming
    long black snake riding
    writhing at land's end

    days i tire of thinking —
    must be something more
    just around the bend

    pull over waysides
    drinking travel mug brew
    to stare at what daybreak
    sends

  • door in the wood

                  — and yes i recall
    the hill with the tree and
    the door and the key
    but i don't think it
    will turn for me
    anymore

        — so who will remember
    when the rain starts to fall
    of that door in the wood
    to let the ghost
    of me in?

  • dreams only

    i suppose that sometimes
    a dream is only a dream
    but these always lean
    towards rude awakenings

    kissing at distance
    hands dreamlaced time
    drawspacing the narrows
    thin between eachwith line
    mouth to breath shared
    of lips gone surrender
    no longer bound of care
    silkslip and thigh
    that flesh dreamt skin
    pulling pastlives present
    willing you in

  • twilight eyes

    nail bitten fingers
    ragged tip raw
    all jaundice & spleen 
    her twilight eyes
    flicker flick
    a celluloid dream
    in shadow & stars
    come my lay, my love
    she hums, a song
    from her past

  • passage

    to rest my cheek against thigh
    fingers hair entwined
    waiting for the glow of stars
    to shine and fill me of you

  • in that slipshadow

    in that slipshadow
    your hand on my hip is
    my hand on your hip
    cutting the twilight
    of midnight under
    a lazy summer moon
    hanging low enough
    to grasp if but
    for only slender hours
    before is slips behind
    an ashen veil of dream
