ladybug
in my hair and
sand in the sheets -
summer love doesn't stay
alone
What I Heard
/a thousand different leaves whispering this everyday way
Our Wedding Dance
/red bird at my feet
and an unanswered call -
a one-word song
For Beloved's Sake
/solitary
in many fields
I hold the hem
of wild knowing
folding corner
to corner
for Beloved's sake
How Beautiful
/resting
at the confluence
of love and nothingness -
how beautiful
the space
in you
Deicing
/tossing pebbles
across honeycomb ice -
I am
no thing
and it begins
to sink in
Moonlighting
/a little moonlight
on the pew -
I sit long enough
to know the destiny
of blue
