face the gold tiger
the one you found in your soul
and feed him good steaks
rock rolling my toes
down the street without walklights
a journey to the end

the risk of living
open to the gusty wind
that clears out rainbows
pleasure is a turn
behind the oar of the boat
love? the spray of salt

this wid-winter thaw
out of cold New York City fire
spring sinews of life

let the night go peek
at all its distant shadows--
the sun will differ

Tuesday, January 24, 2006

birth a starry star
welcome it with courage
let it have a heart of fire
hold the moon tonight
I came with tired legs
and I'm looking for a ride

The sun touches her
pimples all over her face
shy the ugly moon
yet the sun touches

my heart is a field,
father, after the harvest
give it time to heal

in love for a night
snowflakes fall like pillow down
soon will blanket too

moon a silver fish
swimming against the current
dark clouds like pebbles

If I were a king
amid the dandelions
I would plant a rose
and when it lashed out with thorns
I would trim it graciously
The calms between waves
the ones that fan out on beach
calms that sooth the rage

creep up on your dark
and let it know your full name
morning will bring light

listen to me heart
you are the super foul up
no, it can't be me
creep up on your dark
and let it know your full name
morning will bring light

listen to me heart
you are the super foul up
no, it can't be me

flowing in their gowns
the silver stars dance again
as the moon retreats

sunning on a hot tin roof,
polishing my dreams
how hard the wind blows

a rose without thorns
growing in the wilderness
such is Sunday morn

The delight is me
carrousing with the tulips
still buried in winter

Saturday, January 07, 2006

the mountainous search
with the mind always clanging,
that love is valley

wax sealed the jam jars
still warm in cellars
despite January chills

Tuesday, January 03, 2006

love like a saber
between me and the tigers
with their yellow eyes
