Lover’s Knot
Come unraveled
Waiting to be tied

Lover’s Knot
Came unraveled
It will take a while

Lover’s Knot
Unraveled
slowly winding it’s way
back again

Lover’s Knot
how to make
things last

We are here and now

Not in the past

I lean when I listen
Especially when I walk
I like to lean in
When I listen to you talk
I always want to hear what you have to say
That is why when I walk I am always in your
way
It could also be that when it is you that I am around
That my feet are not always firmly planted on the ground

It was not a good day for the chickens
So I did not get

I was feeling sorry for them

Their little naked bodies and
their scrawny little necks

It seemed like a good reason
to tell

Rather than admit that I forget

It was not on the list
The list I did not have or make

I talked about it yesterday
I think they must have heard

So they started looking pitiful
Those naked little birds.

Trying not to cry
I just walked away

I will just have to buy them
Buy them another day.

Big feeding little
As they glide along home
On a fast moving bicycle.
(I think it was applesauce)
Father and son.

Sometimes one just has to wear red shoes,
Riding tandem on a bicycle when there is no room to ride tandem
Being close where there is no place to be close
Riding tandem

They think they are like sugar,
the people stay away in the dark

While the music for the soul plays,
plays from the heart

They think they are like sugar,
melting  sugar in the rain

Not understanding to come out and  melt like sugar is
what is needed to hear the musicians play

Melting like sugar
Like sugar in the rain

Walking
Face in the wind at night
Cold
Chilling the swirling golden molecules
of one’s thoughts to be swept away
into the darkness of the white capped sea

Kissing penguins on the nose
Can be complicated unless done in tandem
But with kisses specific and not at random
Upon the shoulders of a man then who
must be a father and you must be a
child of him.

A well meaning fisherman
his hat on backwards wears
so no hook has what to catch
as he fishes and swears
that to catch a fish
is all that he cares.

Passing
Intrigued, looking in the
passage way
Two women startled
conversation suspended
Passing
