fingers in the jelly jar
hope in the yeast
we are the toaster.

the river below
our campfire at the shore.

"Spirit Water" - A Permaculture New Myth

A long dry spell came to the Village. The creek shrank, the Garden of Ed wilted, and the vegetable sprouts in the hoop house bent beneath the heat. Read it:

Sushi by moonlight
Butter kisses on the chart
We sail toward the stars.

Our hearts find the circle
Love begins again.

sledding down the hills
saluting sunflowers
wadding in the ocean
waxing with the moon
remembering
remembering the earth

Smells of baking bread

And yesterday’s perfume
Jelly toes
Coffee tongues
Visions of lime
Hands of rye

chasing meteors

her hair smells like burnt toast
a silent song in the dark
forgetting her name before dawn

peanut butter and jelly girl
splashing in the tub
chasing meteors
@4 am

Maeve's Tower

Diamonds around her neck
flowers in her eyes
fate floating in her heart
a life journey coming on.

The Perfect Woman

knows the perfect man
who is standing in the moat
holding his heart in his hands

soul mates are as bright as stars
and extremely precious
she is fueled by the Moon

The Perfect Woman
takes the pie off of the shelf
and eats a piece, savoring her freedom

"the journey"

Long river.
Soft rapids.
Two people paddle
into the moonlit water

Your hand touches mine
between horizons

Above us
the stars gather
silent witness
to our becoming.

For Catherine

Right Time

I chased the clock through borrowed dreams
romance folded in my sleeve
but honesty undid the seams
of all I needed to believe

No heart should have to race for love
equality is not a prize
it is the door, not fate
The dream that meets you halfway
will never ask you to decline.
