Whoever you were I
loved you then and the
remnants retain
fragments of me back
then

Old road dawg rollin
through a few more
worlds
(find me a new sun)

Is there silence
in his mind

(did she drop
the space of them
from her
light)

Mother spider
knows
weaving fabric
of her universe

For my mother Joan on Mother's day, 5 years after she's been gone

There is no poetry
or spirit large enough
to contain you

You burst forth from my
own blood
pirouetting across an
infinity of love

Those New York
days are gone
(when you licked icing
off my fingers,
we were poetry in the
subway
rattling across
from Brooklyn)

When I knew
how to love
riding through mountains

Across a bridge
into an emerald city
only to become

Lost in the Montreal
Underground
with fragile
godesseses

I'm almost home
We rode like demons
Through the canyons

You never knew the real me

Radio silence
between us

If there was a way out
of our darkness

(I have my own light)
wish we could
if only the stars hadn't

In my eyes if only
you could shine
one more infinite
time

if there's a way
please answer by
returning to a place
we've never been
