my grandmother taught me macramé and origami
how to conjure belief from scraps
I can build paper cranes
but you cannot fly on folded wings
I can construct paper stars
but they will not hold the sky
I will braid your fraying strings
into symbolic Celtic knots
If you promise not to chew the ends
how to conjure belief from scraps
I can build paper cranes
but you cannot fly on folded wings
I can construct paper stars
but they will not hold the sky
I will braid your fraying strings
into symbolic Celtic knots
If you promise not to chew the ends

twenty
we kill
the angels
and then ask
why the world
is full of monsters

I'll Never Grow Tired
Tonight I'm going to stop you
on the porch, we'll stand toe to toe
the way we used to when
the pulse that thrummed
quick and strong through our veins
sang out our young, unbridled hope.
Our eyes will meet and,
just like the first time,
I'll take a moment to run my fingers
through your shining thoughts and
caress the sharp lines of your mind.
I'll lean forward and press my lips onto
the the flower-petal curve of your self-expression,
and that will be enough for you
to take me by the hand
and lead me up the stairs.
In the soft moonlight that filters through
the trees and our gauzy curtains
I'll unbutton your fears and slip them

An Old August
I watch you
cutting strawberries
in the amber afternoon,
sun on its midway
to autumn;
you won't let me help
because secretly
only half of them
make it to the bowl.
I smile back
at your playful eyes
because
you know.
It feels like
an old August,
in my stomach
some sort of sadness
some sort of joy.
Last night's thunderstorm
has left the ocean agitated,
wildly
beautiful.
Life is nothing
but a vacant place, today
and we shall
let it be,
let the world
wait for us, today.
Cross legged
on my piano bench,
I play for the cat
a winter Debussy
she's happy,
I could tell
she smiles.

Beautiful!
I think the lack of punctuation gives a certain frankness to this piece - don't put any in! Everything about this one is perfect.
