During those candle burns

Drip from my mouth and onto the end of the candle
Drip from the end of the candle and onto my hand
Fall from my hand to the floor
Fall from the floor to my hands and knees

Descend and rise
Move along and realize
All we have is time to know
How we go, above, below.

Sing to my summer and on into fall
Sing into fall and sing to my winter
Sing from my winter and all through my spring
Sing until spring falls away into summer

Descend and rise
Move along and realize
All we have is time to know
How we go, above, below.

Terra space diversions

Moss angle repetition beagle falling treble to bass
Ecumenical reaching bought fan king guitar wrestler
Nonesuch application your mistress rejoices
Gaining crosstown points beneath her skirt of gold
Danjou pears release their juice into my cup
Drowning the cheese of my discontented whims
Hair in gold fire sunset glistening with drops of your love
Wink in that last light of day and all is well.

Twin red salutations

Forest calling sound of bird and bear
One side of the canyon to the other
Modified stream in first day of April rain
Punishing clay, sparkling above the rock bed.
You are for tomorrow and I will explore
Your valley spaces your rising hills
Touch you with light and be touched
Versions of ourselves freely captured
In defiance of laws governing past or future
Taking heed only of this moment
We bend time and space to our selfish wills
Plaster over the broken holes of shame
Pull out a shovel of worms
And break all the heads off the dandelions.
