dull grey
house mouse
type of
heart
afraid of shadows
and every
spark.
oh heart
why don’t
you know,
not every cheese
a trap
not every look
a rat.

thinking about the ocean
Been traveling recently so that explains (but doesn’t excuse) the lack of poetry. Here’s one I’d like to feature again, since the warming weather has me all excited and twisted up in thoughts of summer beach trips….

Elton John for Valentine’s day (haiku)
wine bottle tenor
singing “Ballarina -a”
to a dim lit floor.(to some, this is a perfect evening – you know who you are)

untitled 3 (the thrill is in me imagining your gaze)
the thrill is in
me imagining your gazeas a fleck of sunlight
graces the table of my faceangles shadows like puppets
caught dancingwithout strings
free to accept and love deeply.

untitled (paranoia of a painting)
the Indian laughs
he knows
more than he should
he plans to use it against mebury the hachet.

In Mind by Brenda Bufalino
i’m featuring poet Brenda Bufalino tonight. a friend gave me her book, and i wanted to share. [Brenda, Codhill Press, i hope you don’t mind!]
From Circular Migrations, Codhill Press 2010
In Mind
Digging deep in mind
has no regrets for unpredicted
unforeseen results
yet anticipation
is the germination
to do
to make
to facilitate
to orchestrate
and then
to let the music play

the quiet ache of missing
the empty white space

as the have, the hold
the in the flesh.author’s note… it seems fitting that i find this poem to be completely unfinished.
