"Your Head Demands... "

¡Hola! Everybody...
It’s raining, a good day to spoon somebody... LOL Me? I’m working... but I’m grateful I can work at something I’m passionate about.

Yawl be good, ya heah?

Nows [no. 17]


Your head demands
a new equation everytime.

One moment
your flexed eyelids
proclaim your mind a vault,
and the final click
of those tumblers is deafening.

But sometimes you give way,
noisily,
flaking rust like the cliche
of a complaining screen door
unaware of its own transparency.

But just now --
this very moment...

I dipped gingerly
into your tender and muddled mind
as into a warm bath
to muse a while,
restore myself,
and soak.

You are Insinuating Yourself...

¡Hola! Everybody...
My beloved Mets are winning, the sun is shining, and life is good. On Saturday’s this blog is dedicated to things artistic. This one’s mine...

I am headed out. Have a great day folks!

You are insinuating yourself
into my reluctant life
and goading me toward a grin.

But we have a deal going,
you and I...

If you will squeeze my hand
I will coat your body with oil.

When you sing in my ear
I will kiss your eyelids.

And if you will hear my tears
I will surround you with hugs
that ask no more than
to be allowed a brief dance
to the rhythmic pulse
of your joy.
