..........on this other side we always
talk around
the mists must be somewhat warmer
.....and beaches have to sweat with poets
..................and painters of love
...............I doubt we’ll use
names there
.......for to me you’re always
new
.........drinking and thinking our only
constant
....this boat we row has been around
..............ten-thousand paints and
poems
.........so who are we to change the
water level?
I’ve created spaces using nothing more
...than sand and slight regret
..yet our garden plants itself
.watered by work and wise decisions
.....no, I don’t want old time
to go
..........I like it here in emptiness
....we float as children’s hammocks
...and the words I read speak of changes
unmade
.adjustments to this wheel we roll
............so round and high and mighty
..........and whose course is known by
stars?
.........who dictate when our bodies
meet?
........our heads are never separate
..................take my hand I leave
for you
.............your smile a girl I loved
one day
.let the power of our vision
.....draw the guidelines of our lives
.......amen
outside a freeze of beauty
......colorless ocean of clouds
.........clapped white by full moon
fingers
..no boredom here… too farway
simple
.....not even thoughts of breakfast
.................stab us in this palace
..................................of
no time
we who watch each burn and flicker
..lit the candle
....sense the snuff
.................to us these travels
only dreams
.........‘pon which we paint
the day’s cruel stuff
I wonder if our wires cross again
........what quilt we will be weaving
....sail me to that distant shore
...............that we were both but
conceiving
