thick lush green shoots soon to echo riotous colors
of red yellow and white day lily's

images of you bent on your knees seeding
such delicate beauty that your eyes will never see

slipping down into
the fresh soft dirt
the grave of all dreams

Each Night

 

at first I lie awake each night

patterns of street lamps dancing across my room

surly he will come

climbing so softly into my cold little bed

whispering sorrows in his ear

my tears wetting his sweet brown eyes

those eyes, his eyes I have missed so much

once closed forever,now open to mine

then lips meeting lips

I am born anew
