In

If I 
ever again
let someone
else in
he will
likely know
where everything
is for
he will
most certainly
be me

Order (for Mary Louise)

To know where
everything is or
where it can
be found causes
order to life
order is the
expression that one
has accepted the
stones of one’s
path on the
journey of walking
one’s soul through
one’s own life

Life

Finishing my little things 
my big things too
I rest coffee and
dreams in hand I
listen to my happiness
an absence from and
absence to the worries
of the entire world
laying here sometimes sitting
it really does seem
that everything else goes
about their wishes but
me having let go
of all of mine
I have found this

Mine

There is something 
about mine both
being it and
having it that
brings me comfort
a warm sweater
layered on thoughtlessly
a quick peck
on the cheek
out the door
these little things
that are mine
