there was some laughing &
smiling & we called it happiness
for lack of a better term
of your infinite January 21, 2007
Help me to find
the cracks of light between the heaviness
of your mind and your heart
where there has been not joy
or love
or calm
and set me loose in the garden of your infinite
possibility so that I can dance
barefoot
spinning cartwheels on the lawn
all things, beyond January 12, 2007
I am, she said,
radiant,
luminous,
and above all things,
beyond compare
and swallowed me January 11, 2007
I slurp up every little bit of these last days
For a change, not biding my time, not champing at the bit to go
go
go
A nice reprieve from my usual haste to exist in the future and burn
the greasy remains of one more life of gasoline and kindling
I’m being pulled around into corners—my life whispering look at this! in the dark
The world, she has opened up her mouth and swallowed me whole
or is that I have fallen into the deep ravine of her heart?
No matter
Today is the end of all my endings and Yesterday I prepared for the sweet light of tomorrow
Begin now! I hear
And do not forsake the tender bird in the palm of your hand for a world of imaginary vultures
Today I loved Maya’s poem and flossing.
last us January 4, 2007
Sometimes we fall in love with an idea…and it is enough sustenance to last us into the tomorrows we cannot see.
