Concentrate on joy.
Taste it like a kiss.
Let it flow from your breath
like a gentle summer fog.

 

Like This

Just enough
     to get us there
enough
     to establish
     some requisite angst
keep
     us
     in the clutches
     of our
     tensile anxieties.
Love has been like this.

----------

Something in her raw skin
     is like dead words,
     too thin
     to be held up by morning.
Her eyes
     a deeper blue abandoned,
     are stronger
     than she's had to be.
There is no silence
     in the easy dream
     on her lips.
