little bird slept
with the ghosts
in the garden...
and her dreams
were deep and soft
almost as if she knew
when the heart can
breathe, love lasts

sorrow is a flower picked
a heart made rootless
the soul wandering—
the sky without a bird

which are the keepers

And, the edges of your soul,
I haven't seen yet
And I'm glad I get forever
to see where you went

depth of Winter's

it was easy
at dusk to slip
away, to walk into
the lavender sea...
lost as a ghostly
wisp of moon

candle dance
the tick-tick gentle
of the clock
an indigo sky…
i watch the snow
celestial as it falls
and softly so

Not the stars. I go out to see
the night's midnight blue
and the deep, empty

spaces in between
- the parting of our fingertips -
inhabited by our loss.

One life is only as close to the next
as the stars appear to us;
as if we could measure it

between our finger
and our thumb.

It was the ocean between them
with every color
of the sea,
an entanglement
of storm and depth
of grey and green
and the blue that bound
the two together.

the soul is where
we touch and heal
explore, remember
selves to self, to other
all the rest is dross

I'm sure I've seen you

which is to say, you
already live inside

after all that's
happened to me
in this i believe—
sometimes ghosts
are angels and
darkness is
