and horizontal calm
that he might find equilibrium
in electric urban timbres,
in traffic snaking city blocks,
in the refusal of jazz to become form.

Such telescoping distance
(red tree to gray to abstracting grids)
to find repose within all things

Oh, give me back capricious greens.
             

   Strange Bedfellows
I, Ana�s

You fall in love with people's minds...

This from Hugo, my husband,
as if that were unique,
yet I can think of no other way
nor reason to fall in love.

������������������������... I could lose you

in a hunger
for what has not been experienced.
Yes! The world pigmented, illuminated
by fresh perception is a world
otherwise impossible.

As I dance before this new man,
let the shade slip from innocence,
Henry sees what I want - to be
with people who are alive.
