BirdHuman

I have never

Seen two birds

Bump into each

Other in flight

We were lucky

Then to be

Humans instead of

Birds weren’t we

MorningWithYou

Awake I am

Writing with you

Asleep around me

Your breathing shallow

Keeps time with

These words stirring

You feel my

Distance even in

Sleep rolling next

To me you

Grab my hand

Away from the

Keyboard placing it

Upon your chest

Where I feel

You beat this

Morning giving pause

To these words

Estuary

We are like

A River at

First strong deep

Then we went

Our separate ways

Saturating the landscape

With our richness

But like all

Rivers we will

Meet again at

The oceans start

SilentWhen

Can a bird

Sing when flying

Or does it

Sit silent while

Wandering much like

You I wonder

Do you sing

Songs of me

When you’re fleeing

Or are your

Words only spoken

When you return

EverythingExceptThat (to Bean)

Oh I see now

The way that were

Are just simple shadows

And there you stand

Naked against the sun

You thought that maybe

I couldn’t write you

A poem with four

Words per line but

I promise you this

I can do anything

That you wish

Except that

Right
