Fathers of Sons

Fathers of Sons

they say we take your DNA
and put it away when we
give you a son.

you never leave.
we absorb you.

it’s not chemistry.
it’s got to do with biology.

Love in the Garden

Love in the Garden

me and me are under the tree
k - i - s - s - i - n - g
and eating juicy apples
and laughing
cuz they look like breasts
and they taste sweet
and satisfying.

Court of Love

Court of Love

fake futures trading
is legal
but not lovable

Court of Love

Court of Love

we used to play.
now i pay.
you had me caged
in silent rage.
let me count the ways
365 days.
now i smile.
it’s been a little while.

and yell.

Court of Love

Court of Love

using my trust
to punish me
is criminal.
the sentence
is silence.

to Love

to Love

the last one standing.
you haven’t conquered anything.
you never even tried.
you’ll just endure to the end,
won’t you.
and nothing else
ever has mattered.

to the Dance

to the Dance
while we love
imperfectly
Earth and Moon
dance,
trading at
reflecting
light.
the far side
of Moon
hides.

Love Note

Love Note
oxygen and fire conspire
in a sweet-scented frenzy
that can’t last
but comes
again and again.

to Me

to Me

i avoided you.
i kept company
with
Cupid’s Cavaliers;
cuz you
weren’t enough.
but clearly,
i am still here,
Dear.

Love Note

Love Note

palm over heart
circular commotion

Note to Heart

Note to Heart

You are the bridge
that water returns to

traffickers scuff your surface
thinking they are going somewhere

don’t listen to idle chatter
you are what you seek

Love Note

Tomorrow dawns with our embrace. We love prolifically, as thirsty Hibiscus. The sun comes. Our hearts open. Dead blooms fall to the ground. We don't look down.

Love Note

we speak cell to cell. we absorb each other through our skin. we are a flower always unfurling always reaching for heaven.

Love Note

each time i feel the warmth of your touch on my skin i open to the sky dance in your brilliance quiver in the breeze of your breath it is always spring

Love Note

my morning glory
is silhouetted
in sunlight.
the world can wait.
we’ll be late.

Love Note

i swear i fly
it’s no lie
i sprout wings
that carry me in
the updraft of
our sighs
oh my
so high
dizzy and free
as me

Love Note

Love Note

Deep breathing is how

to stay in Love

year after year

never fear

where Love will go or

come from flowing

through you and

around you pluck

it from the air and

let it stay there too

between me and you.
