Offspring

The progeny of love
Is to me a sensation
Like the curl of a wave
Warmed by sunlight
And alive in rivers
That run red from
The heart and out
To the fingertips
And toes.
Like the spring
Of a jack in the box
Smiling
That might randomly
Pop free without
The asking
Like a tree that
Is suddenly
Coloured by blooms
To completion
Like something you
Didn’t know to exist
Until one day
You knew it did
For sure
Like a beautiful feeling
that
Might graft onto affection
And grow to a larger tree
Every day
Like loyal
Is the long distance
Chariot
Like "off" got a set of springs
To turn on
The heart switch.
Like a beating heart
That added a duet
Or a choir.
It’s not something
You forget
It’s dazzling
In all the right ways.

Basket Star

Take me to the store
Down deep
Down deepest
Where the groceries
Aren’t boxes
Where the packages
Are not in rows
Where there is not
A set playlist
Where every colour...
Is richer and brighter
because
It’s a colour
That isn’t for sale.
Take me to the basket
Of goodies
To the star
With so many arms
Beautiful arms
For reaching
And holding

Onto life.

Nuovola

Lie on your back
Up up to the picture
Show
Su Su to the
Mighty floating reel
In an aspect
Of soft
And changing
Water carriers
Up up
Su Su
To the free
Zoo
To the face
Of a woman
That might
Make of a
Wild storm
Or a sweet
Piece of
Dough.
Up up
Su su
Blue Blue
White floss
And the tale
Of a mare
The face of
A bear
Dotted puzzles
In the air
Fair fair
Beautiful
Earthly
Lid.
Up up
Su Su
To
You
You
To

Us
