Daughter
My daughter
Your daughters
The children of the world
How we love you
How we found you
How we manage
To stay together
Or stay apart
To be there
For one another
To help each other
With a smile
With a gesture
With the love of life

I too have waited
For the sunlight
To enter my window
Many days elapse
Between one set of words
And the next
Many thoughts
Committed
To other sheets of paper
Some even cast out
Into the ether
In search of their stars

autumn wind—
a hair has grown
on my mole

Impressed
By the physical size
Of the old poet
On the cinema screen
Could I
Would I
Should I
Grow so large, physically
How might my body
Care for
Such a substantial presence
Which helps me to remain grounded

ebb tide
sandpipers skitter

Firm, glowing skin
A poet’s trip
To the water
At the place
Where the mountain
Might have been
Had there been a mountain
So close to the sea
Where your name flowered
For one day, to live on
Until and beyond this day
Not yet time for ashes
Or to make that final journey
In search of
The poem’s hidden treasure
Where youth and antiquity
Become one
