LaterNow

Day started 
early earlier
without you
and now
now still
late later
without you
not knowing
knowing what
if anything
to do
with this
later now

Drift(s)(ing)

And you 
like woods
and my
fingers falling
like snow
I land
upon limbs
covering them
in lightest
layers of
quiet affection
shifting now
back to
side my
snow blows
from head
to toe

SnowGlobe

And I 
sitting here
and you
sitting there
each watching
it snow
and wondering
what if
we were
just maybe
two lovers
in a
snow globe
of our
own making

ItAin’tHeavy

It’s also 
strange this
not needing
anyone else
for finally
I can
simply want
deliciously want
succulently desire
absent of
distanced from
the baggage
of need
I carry
my own
now these
emotional bags
leaving others
to lug
around theirs

Sip

There’s just 
something about
that first
sip of
morning coffee
similar to
that first
smooch I
share with
you each
one reminding
it’s dawn
things to
do you
to love
