BLUE JAY BLISS

Daybreak: by my own deepest wish
and through the voice of morning’s
blue jay bliss (and upon your hand)
my small heart is there I hear
the stretched wings of tiny kisses
calling like a dry exhalation
that escapes the world’s pains
Then why, assuming life is true
as the love through my veins
(and soul, too) would your hand
turn back toward your breast
to wish you are mine is as breathing

Only once, only once in a lifetime
in this watch keeping time does
the forest and her green tears of
fragment-fallings splinter wood
save two souls truly in love

WE blindly(steady my arm for your neck)
took the path chosen by fate and the many
words of poetry under the weight and
that warmth of your body — topples time
out of my skin
and the sleep of your heart
the dream of love falls downward,
falls whispering an ode
to forest and lovers
