If we are running out of time,
no one has told that to the avocado
which sits on the counter
hard and light green as if
not only will there be
a tomorrow, but in fact,
things might just be
much more delicious then,
so smooth, so perfect,
so ready to be shared.

enormous wind—
hanging on to my smile
so it won’t blow away

and suddenly I’m singing
in the cereal aisle,
unable to turn the music up
and dancing anyway—
the words spin me
like old friends,
My older self looks back
at me and says,
that’s right,
move it sister
while you still hear
the music, while you still
can dance.

the only thing
that matters
is the wound—
from a dark nest
comes gold

a love letter—
and me, still learning to read

writing a letter on a leaf
and throwing it to the wind—
all day it smells like rain

a Frisbee we toss

pulling the rug out
from under my own feet—
who knows where I’ll land next

with thanks to Alan Cohen
rearranging the furniture,
that works for a while—
what the heart really wants
is to take out
the walls

Raven me, river me, tremor, deliver me,
pink me, tall drink me, unfurl,
canyon me, plunder me, lightning and thunder me,
tide me, tsunami me, curl,
rob my dark berry, my wheat field, my mango,
wring from my cloud all its rain,
unsmall me, outsprawl me, earthquake and enthrall me,
undo me, unwho me again.
