MOONRIDER


In the swing, I can smell
apples in your hair
and, faintly, some
deeper secret in that scent

The catalysis of passion
the passion of love
the crystalography of love
the beauty of passion
the catalysis of beauty

A formula I incant
to induce sleep—
You can't sleep, yet
nothing awakens you

Moonlight becomes you
You become moonlight
Darkness makes a woman
from shadows



COOKIN'


Love is composed
of basic ingredients—

shared solitude
clean sheets

and the fire
in our bones



EVERYTHING


Everything's
the world.

Everywhere
it's happpening.

Everything is
everywhere.
