It



You want to know why
I don’t like caterpillars.
It’s the way they cling.

They won’t just brush off,
these eyeless, grim cylinders,
grasping and writhing.

Fat truths will persist.
And we fall for butterflies
don't we?  Also true.

Refuge



   If I take refuge
   here with you, there will be no
   other love for me.

   I’m not biding time with you
   or killing it.  I can’t dream.

   Not in this winter
   of discontent.  You there, kind
   and deep and shining.

   Here’s one more poem about the
   oldest problem in the book.

   Add a smiley face  (-:
   Make the best of all you’ve built.
   Call it happiness.

Not lost


I see this clearly.
It will never be enough
just coexisting.

Point A to point B?
It has never been like that.
I do find my way

eventually.
The devil's out and about
but not on my street.

We'll cross paths some day.
