Poems

our story

is to always be torn apart

you take the best parts with you

I don’t mind

missing, waiting, wanting–

it’s a good thing

Witch Grass

Poems

Stems reach up

Like a witch’s broom,

Grow hair

Like a witch’s chin:

Hair, scutch, twitch,

quake, cough grass.

In June, I picked a blade

Swished it under your chin—

Tickle grass,

Soft as skin.

Soon after,

Its bristly panicle:

Brittle branches

Easily broken,

Carrying weed seed,

Devil’s grass,

Thousands of acres,

Thousands of miles—

As far as the devil.

Tumble and panic grass

Flitters and flies

To where you are,

To where I am,

Through my gates,

Through my walls,

Witch

Grass.

What is weed,

What is not weed,

One word.

One Bit of Poetry: I am One

Love, Oneness, Poetry, Self, Yearning

I am One.

I am what one is

And, what one is not.

One of us is wrong, or

Both of us are right

About the one thing.

One last time:

I am not yours,

You are not mine,

Though we will die

Trying to prove it.

Can I help it feels right

To think I’m one with him,

The momentary shared skin,

Then the frightening birth away.

Someone said we were halved

Long ago, halved,

And we are always seeking.

I am what one is,

And, what one is not,

Though I will die

Trying to prove it.
