Shoo

Piano haunts
teases me
beckoning me
come hither
quickly see
what is
your imagination
I turn
seeing you
still asleep
deep in
dreams cave
wondering if
there too
you hear
piano calling
come back
and or
if you
in dream
shoo it
away like
bothersome gnats

Dollop

At this lonely 
dozy sleepy hour
the nights sky
wrings out the
last of starlight’s
glow turning the
black sky blue
as though a
giant or angel
added a dollop
of moon to
a cup of
hot dark coffee

Wakey (for Bean)

Sleep still 
tucked in
behind eyes
thick thought
cleaved by
morning routine
just do
don’t think
days wit
will come
bringing desires
morning kiss

Bath

I miss 
the quiet
that you
bring to
my mind

you might
not think
that it’s
very much
but silence

but that
is exactly
the warm
bath that
I need

Such

Sometimes I 
wish but
then catch
I hesitate
wishing such
it’s loneliest
then wishing
such things
for such
must never
and then
just turn
into sighs
