Present (to You)

I sit between

My past and

Future some would

Say between the

Jaws of a

Vice ahhhh but

Me I feel

Nestled like a

Hatchling under the

Comfort of its

Mother staring out

To the dawn

And wondering if

Today will be

The first day

I will fly

Ghosts (to Bean)

I was haunted

By dreams of

Long lost loved

Ones of times

Way past I

Awoke wondering where

I was uncertain

Of who I

Am until I

Remembered you and

Knew that I’m

Exactly where I

Need to be

They are simply

Ghosts of heartbreak

Music ( with bean and I)

And so I

Grafted myself to

You and you

Small broken flower

Less and somewhere

In between I

Knew that you

Would never grow

Without me music

OldFriends (to You)

The best chili

Is the chili

Prepared one day

And ate the

Next there’s something

About waiting that

Doubles its flavor

It steeps thickens

And deepens color

Parts just disappear

Until they land

Yet once again

And that mmmmm

That’s you too

My old friends

Hellos (to Bean)

There is something

About the surprise

Of a fresh

Overnight snow fall

Something crisp chilling

And clean something

Just like your

Smile the other

Night upon arrival

It brought newness

To the area

Season of Christmas

Of surprises and

Hope that maybe

Last time will

Be the last

Time that we

Say goodbye and

From now on

A simple series

Of just hellos

Wonderful fresh crisp

And warming hellos
