Ode to Leonard





leonard's voice
crawls down my spine
like a deep growl
joyful despairing
paradox
poetry like gravel
on an old dirt road
or a city alley
suzanne
by the river

hallelujah

Cold breaths


cold icy breaths
truth serum
sand shifting
moody words
no calming breezes
to ebb the flow of
feelings unfettered
raw ingredients remain

Elasticity of time


elasticity of time
photos in courtyards
in europe with a tiny waist
three little happy bird faces
can smell the sea in one
can hear the bells in another
can let go of the sad undertones
celebrate the pureness of memories
feel them again and again
