Black Hole

Our family constellation
orbited the
Son

And now we find
the son was a black hole.

We scurried around
hoping he was happy
trying to do the right thing
Trying to stay happy
trying to stay organized
trying to make our lives worth
living.

We orbited him,
wondering every day when he would
get home
would he grace us with a laugh or joke
or would there be
the booming of computer guns
and silence for us?

We said it was okay
when we did everything alone.
we said it was okay.
We said it was okay to orbit a black hole,
Until we fell in.

Drop In

Raindrops from my roof
Splash into my cup
filling it with new water
dropping in
splashing out
rolling down 
reclaimed aluminum shingles

Renew recycle repair reuse
the chant of the old Scottsman
and the children of the Depression
Baby boomers forgot for just a few years

the old adage of conservation.

Just a few deadly years.

We leave you the Earth

in the language of New-Speak

Where everything changes
and stays the same.

With this rain
I cleanse my spirit
and begin a new life
again.

I Want a Lover 08/16/07

I want a lover
who is no husband
a toucher caresser
who cherishes me
as I cherish him

Who admires when I stand alone
and grabs me passionately
when I come home.

I want a lover
who sees who I am
and still loves me
Who I can touch anywhere
and love that touch
who dances with me
swinging bodies pressed together.

I want a lover who
laughs and cries and fights
and still loves me
as I love him

I want a lover
who moves to yogic mantras and
holds the spirit
in his heart.

I want a lover who knows bliss.

Dive

Feelings dive into blackness
into a gray wall of cement
where everything is frozen
everything is stopped.

There is no life
no responcibility
Nothing but work and idleness
Nothing but questions
about who I am
and what am I doing here?

Dear Sweet

Dear Sweet Darling 
Words in my heart but not on my lips

I love it when your passion surrounds me.
I love your touch,
your breath on my ear

I want to feel you again over me and against me.

You touching my heart, your body on my lips.
