I am now
three seasons in
and ready for
my fourth the
fourth being the
most majestic of
all here in
the Rocky Mountains
and I like
a child waiting
gleeful and giddy
for the mountains
to erupt in
red yellow orange
changing from the
lazy humpback whales
swimming up and
down the coast
into Chinese fans
flicking their colors
with such abandon
again happily alive

LoverLife
Laying here talking
I remind you
and myself that
thinking is good
doing is better
I’m thinking now
about kissing you
but you’d rather
that I do
than just think
you’re thinking about
moving into me
I’d rather that
you do that
than stay over
thinking about it
life is nothing
if not about
lovers for lovers
do having thought
about doing long
long before now
BicycleTires
When I was younger
I bent my bicycle
tire funny thing about
bicycle tires once bent
they will never be
true again unlike people
you can’t straighten out
a bent bicycle tire
but bent people can
I have learned to
never assume that your
being bent now is
being bent forever for
being true unlike bicycle
tires means being honest
with yourself and while
you may wobble at
first you will surely
eventually glide down the
hill feeling the wind
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
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
