another

nine, today's number

a fine day to race away

to find another

More for G

you are here always

in our minds and these hearts~

we never forget

For Gail

your name powerful

an invocation to fly

full force to the winds

goodbye

in another time

it is tomorrow today

you fly freely home

blessings for a friend

a wish and a prayer

to bless her on her way home

fond remembrances

snake

discretely creeping

winding expertly from trees

he's silent, this noose

on losing a friend

today her heart breaks

her friend gone to ancestors

on the wings of wind

unlucky in love

locks her poor heart shut

against love entanglements

she has no such luck

old age

aching for a change

races against clocks, tick tock

waiting for no one

el merengue

icing on the cake

sugar raking across teeth

crunchy to the taste

sweet treats

licking this and that

drat the calories of all

make mine sugar free

Oaxaca landslides

their dark drenched mountains

decided just to nosedive

lost their insides out

adjustments

clickity clacking

down the back stairs of his spine

this chiropractor

shoes

offbeat, his heart stops~

dancing every time he sees

her red soled black heels

bend

meandering stream

winds at certain frequencies

a bend less traveled

sounds

oh small arm of sea

indigo channel cutoff

leading to a sound

my lover's name

sublime syllables

his name sliding over tongue

tattooed to my soul

between love and the other

the thin line between~

what you love and what you don't

is a fine silk thread

hurricane season in Havana

cobalt water drenched

the corners of 23rd

wings of seven seas

dreamstates

obsidian eyes

watch from the night's other side

waiting for answers

May Queen
a rose in her crown

of thorns, bloomed crimson instead;

opened up her mind

rainy day

the rainstorm sits still

waiting on the horizon

thunder beings dance

nostalgia
I'm wishing you here

knowing you are there, hearing

the same whistles blow
