HELLO DREAMS; BYE-BYE SUN & KISS ME IN THE MORNING

What do I know of family vowels? I kiss the Sun good-morning and kiss the Moon goodnight Then I tuck myself into my dreams reading my story book of The Ongoing while the Sun is just arising in another part of the world I slumber meeting my other twins to slurp on Popsicles while they point me to the...

ODE TO LIMBO

Limbo is some place I go when I have no place to be Call it a twilight, a meridian of thought, it's the hiatus where nothing meets It's the cave of flickering shadows climbing upon the walls Even dreams dare not enter because they know they'll just get lost So, don't believe what you might have...

IN THE AUTUMN OF METAPHOR

Maybe I wish to sing of love like Neruda with gnarled roots twisitng down into this earth, my soil And to grasp this hand that would lead me back to my unaccomplished deeds Maybe, I wish I knew how to sing a song without metaphor and be carried like a seed to the threshold of my being To sing this...
