I dream of
you here though
we’ve never met
I see you
sitting there standing
here whispering something
that causes me
to rise and
follow I hear
you giggle like
some far off
bell tower ringing
heralding something important
no not death
for you are
not a ghost
but a vision
a prophecy and
a promise of
something better yet
to once come

Timing
I dreamt that
my ex husband
asked me to
go look at
homes with him
no not for
us only him
it was then
that I knew
that like me
who’d long ago
let go of
that our house
that he too
was also ready
the most generous
thing that anyone
can ever do
for another is
to bestow the
gift of time
though all of
us accept the
notion of 24
hours hearts do
tend to take
their own sweet
time to heal
SoonEnough (for Gil)
I never give
love to get
love I give
love just because
just because it’s
there and I
can recognize it
even though you
might not yet
but trust me
like the autumn
trusts the winter
it’s coming it
is soon enough
have no fear
it is coming
LeanTo
It’s true I am
a rock much less
an obstacle and much
more a lean to
not much to get
over up or around
more as a place
to sit and to
take refuge to untie
shoes and rub weary
feet a place to
assess and take bearing
before continuing gaily on
I will always be
exactly where I am
whereas you will not
you’ll be a moment
After
There’s plenty
of room
in Heaven
it is
Earth we
have to
worry about
and none
of us
are ever
free to
go until
we have
finished what
we started
