Now it’s November
and as winter’s
chill sets in
and the days
turn more into
nights I’m reminded
I’m reminded of
whom and when
of where and
what of why
and they all
blow past me
like the significance
of fallen leaves
all having once
been summer’s dream
canopies as we
gazed through them
pretending and imagining
but like them
these do just
swirl and dance
and then go
to somewhere else

Wrinkles (to sweet pea)
And watching you
ironing your clothes
ironically I’m thinking
about the wrinkles
I will make
when you’re finished
prior to leaving
making people wonder
if you’d slept
in them when
in fact we
both recently had
WisdomSaid…
Wisdom speaks into the
mystery that I am
It knows exactly what
I will one day
so when Wisdom said
that there’s no one
for me to love
it simply meant that
I must learn to
love myself in aloneness
learning to be happy
absent the happiness that
someone else gives me
Wisdom said that love
isn’t meant to fill
but rather to find
a cup that is
already filled adding more
and making it overflow
love is then abundance
for an empty cup
can never be filled
Let’sBeLovers
The high temperature
in Denver today
won’t be above
freezing so let’s
you and I
stay right here
warm and snuggly
except to dash
into other rooms
to retrieve provisions
and scamper back
behaving just like
animals and birds
let us today
together forget about
being people and
instead silly lovers
SnowSnowSnow ❄️
I am tickled
by simple things
and this morning
I am beside
myself with glee
and my giddiness
changed my morning
kiss for you
from quiet affection
to startling confusion
what what what
you asked sleepily
it’s snowing it’s
snowing in Denver
sitting up looking
like a badger
poking its nose
above its den
it is snowing
now cuddle me
and kiss me
let us watch
this snow together
tonight and play
in it tomorrow
