of the wind
the moon sings
and night
is a gentle river
music trembles
in an agony of song
of the wind
the moon sings
and night
is a gentle river
music trembles
in an agony of song
in the forest of her hair
eyes filled with stars
she walked crooked lanes
through wild times
her heart a steady drum

blue hands of winter
carve your shadow
each star glistens
in its aloneness
blue hands of winter
carve your shadow
each star glistens
in its aloneness
a kiss
in shadow
the hollow
of your palm
holds my heart
a kiss
in shadow
the hollow
of your palm
holds my heart
as crisp and sweet
as an apple...
morning unfolds me
as crisp and sweet
as an apple...
morning unfolds me
like winter moths
still dance
graceful...adagio
a sunbeam, a prism
silence...a song
like winter moths
still dance
graceful...adagio
a sunbeam, a prism
silence...a song
the tick-tick gentle
of the clock
an indigo sky…
i watch the snow
celestial as it falls
and softly so
the tick-tick gentle
of the clock
an indigo sky…
i watch the snow
celestial as it falls
and softly so
trees collect old things
their falling leaves, feathers
from the pilgrimage
of passing wings
the earth turns quietly
i hear the geese…
groves that once
sang ballads
are humming hymns
rain shivers on my skin
brittle leaves dance the wind
trees collect old things
their falling leaves, feathers
from the pilgrimage
of passing wings
the earth turns quietly
i hear the geese…
groves that once
sang ballads
are humming hymns
rain shivers on my skin
brittle leaves dance the wind
more thinner than recall...
it is most mad and moonly
and less it shall unbe
than all the sea which only
is deeper than the sea
it is most sane and sunly
and more it cannot die
than all the sky which only
is higher than the sky
~ ee cummings

of books
the chair
that beckons
into its arms
thoughts
of you
untying every
heartstring
the leaves beyond
collecting in
the birdbath
floating bronzed
atop their likeness
waiting for the call
to lift and fly away

drift across the sleeping fields…
trees in haloed light
as the minutes fall like stars
drift across the sleeping fields…
trees in haloed light
as the minutes fall like stars
speech and breath. loving you is
a long river running

of the willow, they crept
stretched beneath the fretworked shelter
scattered with geometric light
cuttings dropped from a paper sun
shifting on faces, tickling skin
their secrets shaken into the breeze
by the whispering leaves…as they slept

my soft steps
through fallen leaves.
leave no footprints
quiet as the deer
drinking from the brook
invisible as a breeze
through the arms of elms
my soft steps
through fallen leaves.
leave no footprints
quiet as the deer
drinking from the brook
invisible as a breeze
through the arms of elms
