Grateful

When it comes to you,
it is not about
the word 'happy'
I am talking about
It is about how the
world turns,
or the night changes,
and the sun rises
It is about your hand
that keeps me sane,
or your smile,
and how it teaches me
about missing someone
It is not just happiness
you give
It is about how
grateful I am
to have the privilege
of loving you.

bridges

These bridges you have thus built
and those you keep on building
are the ones we can always cross
from which pebbles we can toss
and watch their ripples downstream
crossing over into our once upon dream

for a friend slipping on the river of dementia

are you forgotten, poet?

are you forgotten, poet?

But perhaps— you are
not forgotten. Not truly.
Your voice threads the dusk
between radio static,

slips between keystrokes,
hums in the silence
after a song we don’t know
why we love.

The garlands might wilt.
But the roots are
underground and unsupervised.
And still growing.

paws in the light

"Paws in the Light"

A sunbeam waits.
Two cats settle—
quiet, apart, together.

No words. Just warmth.

In stillness, memory stirs.
You’re allowed to stop.
This moment matters.

Clean Blue

This the morning of demise
for the longhearted her.
She eats into herself you see;
when there's nothing left to
eat

Cease

The tiled sky
wrings its hands over us;
below the children swing,
back and forth,
back and forth;

there will be blood
soon;
simple, causeless
blood;

in our ears
and mouths
and under
our nails

and the children will
swing,

back and forth,
back and forth,

like a surgeon's needle,
like a heel grinding,
like myriad fingers
twisting in hell.
