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

HeartRooms

In my little home 
I have little rooms
one where I cleanse
one where I make
one where I laugh
and one where I
do all of the
others all at once
just like my heart

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

Inspiration

Conjuring inspiration 
is as
easy as
for me
as looking
in front
and beside
for you
you alone
make my
mind explode
sending shards
into universe
all to
come back
to me
just as
you do
once coffee
is made
