I finally figured it out
perhaps i always knew
love is not
love’s everything
what we think
beneath our thoughts
it is
it is
love is a journey
a journey
back and forth
in and out
through time’s
of time’s
endless roll
infinite laugh
the stuff that makes
the fluid samba
our hearts light and bold
of our weightless hearts
to care
embraces
and accept
and accepts
whatever it is
everything
that is thrown
in its path
and make light
and is not capable

Bouzouki looked around. “what are we doing here?”
Uke smiled. “i wanted Flod here.”
bouzouki looked at his name, thinking that was how he spelled it, at this point feeling male, but that could change, he knew, especially under the influence of fingers, stroking frets, gender fails and emotions enter, taking the shortcut to the [...]

I am semiliterate, some of the time, and asleep when I need to dream. I have been taking melatonin to aid in my sleep and my dreams are vivid but not lucid. At times I think that my view of reality is damaged by the fantasy that I saw something in [...]

I know I have this tendency to ramble on, and I do try to keep it in check, until I start following ideas that been me from place to place, and I chase the elusive clue until I have to do something else. I am fascinated with words, even if my vocabulary doesn’t go [...]

appropriately, on a sunday
we drew the distinction at
god’s pulpit: black preachers
can preach love, love, love all
day long, then say just one
negative thing, and america
explodes. white preachers
can preach hate on their own
twenty-four-hour station, and
nobody says a damn word.

fear of flying
.
in a period when an economic
stimulus plan is fingering
the six hundred expendable
dollars in your pocket
it is only fitting
to find out midflight
that the airline has filed
for bankruptcy, has been
bought by a competitor, or
has announced a merger
halfway between
pouring the first cup
of cream and the last
pack of sugar

things often end
when you realize that
some things never
end, and there is
no longer an ache
to hold her hand
and just wait

you capture me like the cool
evening rain, unforecasted
nevertheless
a continuous fallen and falling –
where eight blocks
in this city can take
forever, but eighty blocks
just disappear
and soaked right through
means never having to wash

you are better than the movies, better
than the serenading warmth of
a darkened theater, better than
the wounded seats always leaning over
to caress, better than the sweet nothings
melting on tongues, better than light
dancing and plunging into bouquets
bearing lovers and warriors
to their most secret
meeting places, and far
far better
than the stories that brush up
against us
at their very end
while we [...]

finding you is not
unlike finding
myself – some things meant
to be whole
cannot imagine
breaking, some things
broken cannot bear
recognition
till whole

your rain arrived just
this afternoon and our
galoshes are already
conversing in colorful
tongues, casually
sealing covert
kisses
in mint puddles
