shelter

to be deserving
of your love is
to be doubly
blessed
to have
earned
your
trust
is
to live
overloaded
with love is
to shelter
in your
arms
is
to bloom
beneath the
steady gaze of
your unconquerable
heart.

no breath to sing

the songs bring me
no joy
be-
cause
the songs don't know
the sky
has
fallen
and i have
no breath
to sing

i am hungry very
much
of the time.

day dream

i'm dreaming of a little house,
a little lawn, a little garden.

trees. crocus. daffodil bulbs.

creeping thyme, pots of rosemary
and basil. garlic. trellised beans
and tomatoes. corn in a good year,
squash if the climate allows.

a porch, a patio. grill. sunshade.
wind chimes. bird feeder.

me and you.

summer shimmer on the horizon.
drone of a single engine overhead. 

dandelions. blue and purple violets.
white clover. bees. hummingbirds.
robins and mourning doves.

a curtain lifting in the breeze.
settling there among life,
verdant life.

are we

are we all losers
here, collectively

collecting at the
industrial

drain catch, catch-
all for an economic

sink hole,

wholly here
for a pay-
check

checking a
disheartened

screen

screen-
ing another

offer offering
another

plateau of
work week
weakened

doing dust
collecting

while i write

poetry in
front of
an oil
fryer
