merrily
unexpectedly we fall into love
and waving away the driver
we take it for a spin
then park again
and run the engine
until we're reminded of a pressing engagement
or the next driver comes
 
 
katherine with cigarette
darling,
the curve of you
is more than my hands can navigate
for just by sitting there
with your white paintbrush
and its bursting red tip
flowing gray watercolors
you turn them from steely ships
to lions adventuring wildly
across their plain
 
 
sunrise
wake me 'fore the sunlight
so that watching you
in praise of breaking day might
i become more true
 
 
a rose's lifetime
patiently the rose waits
for a chance to bloom
patiently in nihil
and rising from the ever-gloom
the rose befriends the sill
and yet on earth, it flies above
to heaven's lowest reach
and soaring still, it tests His love
jumping to the breach
trying stars and then the moon
it makes its noble run
celestially bounding on
until it's crossed the sun
where it wilts and dies
 
 
ye rose of concrete steel and glass
ever in hearts of crimson last
but in the stony heart be still
for those who wish to kill
