The

Through clouds
Clothing her

Believe.

Spring stuns soul’s sweet center
Summer sends scion
Fall fallows
Winter was
(Poem to
my loom)
Arachne’s gift by
cruel Athena’s spite,
doomed to dwell
in a corner.
1978
Hurling notes at
myopic commuters;
mockingbird,
buoy of the dawn.
(To my
first daughter)
Joy born
Joy
budded
Joy blossoming
Joy broken
Joy
blithe
Joy brand new.
(To my
baby daughter)
A buzzing of bees,
the
honey drips,
Watch out for the sting:
Jenifer
Poem on moving from the country
Out from Eden
into
the real world.
Chick from the egg,
womb
to fire.
Ocean Poem
In ebb the fund
of oceanic glitter
leaves pebbles
amidst pearls.
#17
Cricket sings carefree …
his purse is always empty.
I mourn pocket full.
#18
Morning glories twine.
Can magenta blooms be scorned
When amongst green beans?
#20
Moon
through the window
Shining bright but cool yellow.
The sun is jealous.
21.
Saturday
nightmares
Sunday dreams, Monday working.
Water flows downwards.
22.
Jasmine,
gardenia,
Coriander, bergamot,
White ginger the finest.
23.
Cat
sleeps between legs
Turning his lump swats at toes.
I pull you closer.
24.
Mockingbirds
stopped singing in July.
Locusts
took up the burden.
25.
Alone
is sometimes lonely
When
time runs slowly.
Frost on peaches rots.
26.
The
flaw with being
A doormat is that you’re flat.
Even thistles bloom.
Jellyfish
Becalmed Pacific
Jellyfish are everywhere
Stars through the ocean.
PASSION’S MIRROR
Euridice’s Lament
Passion:
Promised
Primal
Potent
Poised
Paused
Faltered
Fell
Festered
Finished.
3.
I have known
Love without sex
Sex with love
Emptiness
Wholeness
And Home
To a
lover
A thrip of tongue
could not prevent
protrusion’s spark
it’s earthy day.
Ditto
Pearls of no price
Passion’s dew
Shivered from the core
That’s the quake of you.
S.
The day I fell in love
All of spring fell into my heart,
And I died.
16.
Cicadas scraping
Winding up afternoon heat
Like my lover’s heart
19.
Lady lust remains
Elusive though clothed in lace.
Come fall bugs go mute.
27.
Cornstalks
in August
Waiting for rain to come.
Ocean between us.
28.
The
purpose of fruit
Is to lure a hungry bird.
My peach is for you.
29.
Champagne
and jasmine
Shadowing candles reflect
Shivering passion.
30.
A
soft white belly,
Clutching arms, enclosing legs,
Wet warmth all for you.
31.
Thinking
hard of you
I lie soft and then resist.
That passion brings you.
32.
With
knees by my ears
All my cooing crescendos
And butterflies roar.
Lisa’s
Trick
Love juice in my mouth
You relax and I kiss you
Returning favor.
33.
Have
you ever had
An entranced lover lick you
Soft between your toes?
34.
When
I sit on you
The connection is so deep
My soul is sated.
NATURE’S CHOICE
35
Autumn
sun Has a precious warmth At end of life Becomes the butterfly.
Chrysalis
Now that I’m called Cho
What new name has the butterfly?
36
Footsteps
A door slams
This one perfect moment.
37
Look at moving water.
Unexpected hues
Color chorus.
38
Last night I dreamed aliens landed.
Brought their babies.
Gentle creatures.

Science says humans top the life pile.
But cats know better.

The cow in the meadow speaks.
What do I know?

The stork looks frail and spindly.
I walk but I don’t fly.

I know that rooster.
He’s black and flat.

Beyond horror are the wars.
This cat tortures a mouse.
44
Paris Hilton in black Zen robes.
Roshi glittering in pink.

Bored looking at a knot for an hour
And never a knat crawls out
46
Newborn each moment
Happy Birthday
