gentle care
fairly weathered
whether cold
or feeling barely there
a time to wear your work
and a time to wash
scrubbing off the dirt
but joy in a job well done
lingers

sweet release
stillness heavy, quiet peace
first kiss of light
first skin's caress
first bit of day to be so blessed
bliss without the rushing blood
joy but no big dopamine flood
simple pleasures
treasure this
early morning
day's first piss

intermittent bits of peace
with pieces of stolen time
on parcels of stolen land
dams built long ago
shaped the way we know
our knowing of this place
sitting
without flitting around
sounds in my head
superceding my peace
it's hard to sit in body and mind
at the same time

criminal behavior
skin-kissed breeze
the trees have no fears
of my freedom of movement
of the human need to breathe
getting naked feeds the soul
a simple ritual to remind us all
of how we got here
of which parts make us whole
and which can be shed

stretch these soles
effervescent holes in time
less excuses
restitution of bodily goals
best part is that it's all mine

feeling it from forehead to feet
depleting resources
indiscreet
complete comfort is fleeting
free me from my own sweat
let me breathe better
see better
be better
when sweater weather comes
he'll come with sleet

shedding layers
ready to say goodbye
ready to cry
homesick before i've left
lively fireflies by the creek
follow me in my memory
frozen in a perfect sky

went in so gently
befriended my body
attentively
rendered me ecstatic
explored my elasticity
matched my energy
waves of cosmic magic
it's tragic
i didn't ask for your number

we are bilateral beings
easy to swing one way
or the other
back and forth
side to side
lives are filled and spent
astride this natural divide
back and forth
side to side
across an imaginary line
can you feel your polarity?

can test resolve
dissolving the best plans
intricately laid
highly involved
investing in de-stressing
invites the guest of less
less aggressive gestures
less impressive fixtures
less pernicious strictures
figuring out what feels good
instead of what's productive

wealth of nervous awareness
a system of synapses
concentrated in the sole

embrace those relationships
take yourself to space
with a gentle caress
a firm press
impressive nuance

with felted plastic?
fabricated fibers
fantastically elastic

coexisting with closeness
