He’s gone again 
maybe for good 
maybe for awhile 
who really knows 
come and go 
here and there 
on and on
back and forth 
a clock’s pendulum 
or the tide
or feral cats 
when they’re hungry 
or even birds
that come around 
when weather warms 

Breath it comes 
sometimes cold and 
crisp like apples 
leaving its trail
and other times 
it’s humid and 
warm and invisible 
felt but unseen 
like between soft
lips before kiss 
shared this life 
deep sighs and 
giggles and sobs 
oh so many 
sweet delicious breaths 
we do take 

A lovely day
quiet and peaceful 
just me and 
my little loves 
that dance playfully 
creating the shadows 
of my mind 
tickling me so 
and teasing heart
with the promises 
of pure happiness 
this is the 
best kind of 
life my love 

I love lights
at night and 
in the morning 
when it’s dark 
switching them on
and feeling home
there’s a warmth
to lights a
comfort that says 
you’re welcome here 

The gas station is 
so is the burger 
place the coffee shop
to all three up
lights on and ready 
to do for those 
unable to at home 
cars pull up people 
get out just zombies 
sleep walking through life
