You never find
What you seek
In the place
That you look
Lost things show
Up in unlikely
Places and often
Aren’t what you’re
Looking for but
Instead need so
Goes love try
Not to look
For a type
But instead be
Happy for it
That you’ve found

Heart (for little Ben)
Today my heart
Sings and yet
Is sad a
Young child gets
A new heart
Today but that
Means another lost
Theirs remember that
When you give
Your heart to
Someone else you
Lose your own
SorryAboutThat
And like a
Cold winter blast
We became frozen
Stuck where we
Were huddling in
Place waiting for
The gale to
Finish its furry
Now the icycles
That we became
Are being warmed
By the sun
Thawing and splashing
Into the cistern
That we are
Fresh and clear
LookingWind
I’m looking for
The wind something
Invisible that moves
Something stormy something
Chilling and something
Still I’m looking
For the wind
For my kite
Lifting lifting lifting
Me up to
Fly dodging about
In the sky
I’m looking for
The breeze on
Hot summer days
A friend that’s
With me always
GlassRoom (for Jay)
My dear boy
I know that
You feel like
A fly trapped
Inside a glass
Room trying to
Find its way
Out you can
See what’s over
There but you
Can’t reach it
One day you’ll
Either get used
To being inside
Or trust that
A window will
Crack and you’ll
Be set free
To buzz about
