I am tickled
by simple things
and this morning
I am beside
myself with glee
and my giddiness
changed my morning
kiss for you
from quiet affection
to startling confusion
what what what
you asked sleepily
it’s snowing it’s
snowing in Denver
sitting up looking
like a badger
poking its nose
above its den
it is snowing
now cuddle me
and kiss me
let us watch
this snow together
tonight and play
in it tomorrow

UhHuh 😈
There are two cars
which always arrive separately
one then the other
into the dark parking
lot next to me
one driver gets out
and climbs into the
other for an hour
doing I imagine that
very same thing with
clandestine driver number two
DoDon’tToo
Aren’t you lonely
who me lonely
no I’m not
lonely people think
that others will
but others never
do and until
they accept that
then those who
don’t will never
do anything too
PackLight
Leave behind the things
and take with you
the lightest of all
those which require no
tired arms to carry
pack lightly too memories
leave behind the bad
ones with the things
and make room for
of all things the
good ones for good
ones are like balloons
and the bad ones
well those are anchors
DrowningMan
Here’s how it goes
The desperation sets in
the I’ll take anything
of it all and
then the remorse pulls
you under like a
drowning soon to die
dead man and you
break free and claw
and tear and finally
at last breathe again
and then right there
you realize that you
are not a drowning
man but that you
are and always will
be alive and desperation
belongs only to those
souls who can’t swim
and that one day
at last you will
be happy that you
didn’t follow them down
and into the depths
of that that desperation
