Luz

Some places feel comfortable
Almost in an instant
One feels no need here
For leather bound notebooks

Instead to scrape our names
Into the shoreline rocks
To chisel, as might a sculpture
The story of deep love

Within its sea, as viewed
From the cross on the hilltop

Energies Amore

A practical label; for the time and the place
That surrounds the beautiful cusps of sleep
Around the time of awakening

Again today such stirrings
Collaborations of line and image, half sounds
Forces, exuberance; sense of a distillation process

Unable to fathom, unable either to entirely recapture
Instead to write of trees and grapes, of soft warm skin
Heavens scent, chased wildly through open vineyards

EP

Soon as you rise, so soon you begin to fade
The veil is drawn, drawn for self protection
In the pre-existence of the grey-green leaf
There was the rich soil & volumes of water
Let then the thief be taken by jade; runes
Of our own insistence; to escape detection

Two-Handed Shuffle

A night of cards
Old rules, once forgotten
Brought easily back to life

A clear leader emerges
He succeeds, despite the wilful
Acts of his friends & compatriots

Splash

Half dark, half light
Enough of doubt
For your silhouette
To dance, unknowingly
Through the shadows
