In my little home
I have little rooms
one where I cleanse
one where I make
one where I laugh
and one where I
do all of the
others all at once
just like my heart

Clock (for Gil)
The difference
between intimacy
and sex
is as
simple as
a clock
sex speeds
on ahead
ticking ticking
and ticking
until then
whereas intimacy
chimes in
some far
off room
and echoing
a quiet
simple reminder
Inspiration
Conjuring inspiration
is as
easy as
for me
as looking
in front
and beside
for you
you alone
make my
mind explode
sending shards
into universe
all to
come back
to me
just as
you do
once coffee
is made
Child’sPlay
If only life
was as easy
as child’s play
I have me
have me not
plucking of petals
of starting somewhere
ending somewhere else
excited by prospect
acceptance at end
given to fate
and it is
and when like
children we dislike
the outcome of
our haphazard plucking
we simply pick
another flower and
some of us
lay waste to
an entire field
in a desperate
hope to find
that perfect one
Chase
Why would
anyone accept
when anyone
can have
why take
what’s offered
when what’s
desired is
truly magnificent
every life
only ever
is choices
grab if
you must
but chase
when you
can no
pot of
gold has
ever been
found by
those settling
