like how a love for hummingbirds
could be the color of eyes. or
my afternoon napping
your profile.

shards of glass shift. each moment
a colored bottle at the bottom of a river.
sand smoothen. hollow. fluvial. each thereafter
a conglomeration of fragments. disjointed. ligated.
released. refracted into a dream.
a memory of what was never there.
a prism of all that is.

like how your footsteps are my tea after supper.
or how the beach settles in your skin. my morning
your head full of magnets. your gestures a
park swing.

or how the cracks in the paint
are my love for you and
my love for you lies next to a tea cup.
silver. smooth. waiting. under a glance.
over the windowsill.
a slip of light. a red reflection.
a flutter of wings. drops of
sweet water on the counter.

to appear in Heavy Bear, issue 2

Very visual, very sensual, reminds me of "Through the Looking Glass."

this poem
a sitar strung out on the line
your voice is the 13th time I got ID'ed at the liquor shoppe
my fingers
flat canvas shoes on a 3-D sheet of paper haikus

beautiful distillation of the every-thingness of it all..

or how the cracks in the paint
are my love for you and
my love for you lies next to a tea cup.
silver. smooth. waiting. under a glance.
over the windowsill.
a slip of light. a red reflection.
a flutter of wings. drops of
sweet water on the counter.

Delicate and as nuanced as life..
a really good one!
