To human - of errs,
ah but what of asking forgiveness?
Perhaps

maketh sinners and saints the same
and of course
we know of the Divine.

Somedays You help us awake,
and shy though we are,
you patiently wait.
As the light shines forth,
we always seem to forget.
But you wait, patiently,
while all the while,
softly pouring a ray of spring sunlight,
and the chirping of birds that begins each morning.
the sounds of the earth beginning and waking up.
and your prayers are missed by me mostly,
yet thank you i must for this day as each day,
that try as i might
to navigate the inner waterways, the oceans mighty,
i always tend to forget, miss, really,
the sweet blooms in front of me.
The honeycomb face of a displaced yet ever so naughty monkey.
This fruit that i now bite into
and the thanks i slip past the crowding
for all your gifts to me.
Yes-
Thank you.

For the honey - lo!- came bitter,
and as the Beat of Us-
Heart - Charges On

We wondered - each - to the Other
How - do we - wait for
You - who have give and-

take- as the Breeze-
whispers past yet-
all that's being Heard-

is of this Frozen-
Caught in Tresses-
Believing that - You-

Would arrive-
at the Bugle's Cry-
of - Victory.

Yet past - This -
the little Ladybug-
and i - we -

Live ever - for
it too traipses off!-
amidst brushes and bushes,

not - wanting to -
fall in - to the
Lie of - Painting.

blessed be,
open to darkness !

She loves me.
She wants me to run.
Not away—
but through.

Through brush and bramble,
collecting spurs in my coat
like medals no one pinned.

She wants my tangles.
My matted fur.
The parts of me
I tried to groom into quiet.

She says,
“Bring it all.
Let it snarl.
Let it reek of survival.”

She doesn’t flinch
when I bare my teeth
without anger.

She knows the difference
between danger
and damage.

She doesn’t reach
to smooth me.
She walks beside me
and watches me shed.

And I think—
maybe this is what love is:
not a leash,
not a cage,
not a cure—

but a clearing
where I can pant,
live,
bleed,
and be seen.

Early air, like cinnamon
Tastes sweet on her tongue
