I dream of
you here though
we’ve never met
I see you
sitting there standing
here whispering something
that causes me
to rise and
follow I hear
you giggle like
some far off
bell tower ringing
heralding something important
no not death
for you are
not a ghost
but a vision
a prophecy and
a promise of
something better yet
to once come

Timing
I dreamt that
my ex husband
asked me to
go look at
homes with him
no not for
us only him
it was then
that I knew
that like me
who’d long ago
let go of
that our house
that he too
was also ready
the most generous
thing that anyone
can ever do
for another is
to bestow the
gift of time
though all of
us accept the
notion of 24
hours hearts do
tend to take
their own sweet
time to heal
SoonEnough (for Gil)
I never give
love to get
love I give
love just because
just because it’s
there and I
can recognize it
even though you
might not yet
but trust me
like the autumn
trusts the winter
it’s coming it
is soon enough
have no fear
it is coming
OhSoFitzgerald
One more dream
becomes a reality
I’ve been ticking
them off all
of my life
but this one
is one of
the best ones
sitting in front
of a fireplace
and drinking coffee
while listening to
the wafting melodies
of Chopin Tchaikovsky
and DeBussy feeling
the warmth tickle
my feet and
throat writing poetry
oh so Fitzgerald
sans the G&T
Work-In-Progress
I am myself
a work-in-progress
a rough draft
hardly a page
turner and more
a treatment an
outline an amalgamation
of thoughts and
ideas added and
then removed then
added again like
they were new
scratches and scribbles
exposing the posturing
of crazy ideas
and of possibilities
once written and
never done until
that is the
Creator closes the
book of me
and assuredly exclaims
it’s a wrap
