my mother (an old photograph)
there
she is,
standing tall
in
the old
photograph,
color
not invented
yet,
but,
you can
still see
a faint
smile
she carries,
her
high cheek
bones,
dark
enough eyes,
long
cherokee hair,
the love
she expresses
for me
and all
her children,
as she
lets someone
capture her
in
a photograph.

blossom end of her white dress
i love her,
let me
cross
at the
narrow point
of river,
i look up
to see
the blossom
end of
her white
dress,
music playing
haunting songs,
crawling out
into
the wet
shroudy weeds,
this
is where
i last saw
the blossom
end
of her
white dress,
the last
they saw
of me.

standing wall
she left
bits
and pieces
of her soul
chipped away
like stone,
lying around
after she
had finished
building
a wall
around herself,
keeping hope,
emotions
and
the world
locked
far outside.

free leaf (destination)
i sat
on
my couch,
facing
the partially
cleared view,
i watched
outside,
there,
a low
hanging limb,
golden leaves
abundant,
occasionally,
a leaf
would leap
away from
the limb,
and i
wondered
about
its destination,
i wondered
if
the leaf
knew
where it
may end up,
or,
if it
minded
at all.

each poet
each poet
in their
own
given right
are kings
and queens,
setting words,
ideas
into motion,
bringing words
to the
wordless,
their stories,
collections
booked
end to end,
giving insight
to those
that cannot
see,
giving breath
to the masses
that never
learned
how
to use
their lungs.

highway
long legged,
your feet
unmoving,
you get
to travel
while
stretching out,
countless steps,
eager stride
once
formed
in thoughts
of freedom,
let me
travel you,
let me
learn
all of your
secrets,
let me
see
all of your
destinations
you
are living.

burn your
last breath,
i am
with you,
we will
sacrifice
our torches
together.

bridge over water
bridge
over water,
i'm positioned
high,
well enough
high
not to drown,
expand
my reach,
grab a hold
of
each side,
fingers
and toes
anchor
into the dirt,
deep enough
to keep
hearts steady,
souls walk
through me,
on me,
permission
granted,
come be
my reason.

obeying them

i cannot love myself
where is this
section
of night
that found
me sitting,
it began
to fall
over my head,
working
downward,
covering
my senses,
to misunderstand
the hour,
this is
the hours
of lovers,
for lovers
convenience,
i hide my face,
i hide
completely,
i can give
my love away,
but not
to myself.

writing her picture
i wish
i could
write
her picture,
a thousand
eyes,
a thousand
smiles,
beauty,
more than
my pen,
more than
my mind
can sculpt,
more than
the world
can
piece together,
whatever they
understand
with
their best
ideas,
their best
intentions.

santorini
those towering
stone cliffs
hold you,
sentinel like
monuments
at santorini,
they are
unmovable
cliffs
since conceived,
their first
breaths,
unapologetic,
that same
stable gaze,
from
countless eyes,
the waters
around you,
safe,
satisfied
below you,
each wave
rising, falling,
resting on
your shore,
washing
your feet.
