they can stay on,
your clothes, but please take off
everything else
*
blue, blue thoughts—
blackbirds fly
right through them
*
sun and more sun—
still I do not
pray for rain
*
clear spring—
everyone, everything I meet
a lover
*
soft wind—
did it touch
you, too?
*
cloudless night—
we sleep alone
together
*
cattails,
broken open, blown apart—
now the seeds
*
deeper
into the wound—
scent of white lily
*
the moon slips
into my tea—
no sleeping now
*
one cold night—
on every limb
ruined blossoms
*
step outside
I crown you—
billions of stars
*
I keep it
under my tongue—
your name
