Now By The Sea
There is my house
Now by the sea
It’s floating there
Waiting for me
Partially ruined
Partially saved
Docked where I once laid
I’ll live on what remains
There in my house
Now by the sea
Snowflakes
One snowflake
Goes unnoticed
While many
Cover a mountain

crazy love
I have loved all of them:
fingers feet breasts
minds legs hair
art children thighs
dreams birthmarks
parents courage
flowers wetnesses
Trinidadian rum.
who gives a damn
he rightly asks
already knowing I do
but this time it’s different
he hears me say
knowing that’s what I say
every single time
because it is different
every single time
can’t you see?
I know because it’s me
my heart, my groin,
my belly in the field.
this time I haven’t even seen her,
learning how the blind see learning
except I haven’t touched her either
except with words
and photos of my dogs.
so you’re losing it he says.
I smile and close my eyes.
