but there are rules
commas and clauses

that August is empirical
but once the harvest's in
the rules change
we hunt and gather
hoping that we get it right
not knowing

In The voice of Emilie du Chatelet
(1706-1749)

She was a great man whose only fault was being a woman.
Voltaire

I cannot calculate why the stars
governed my birth with more genius
than graceful movement of hand or foot.

I had a bold imagination

awkwardly tall and thin,

LUCKY GIRL

For days she seeks lipstick the shade
of a rainbow trout's magenta flanks,
eye shadow to recollect the scent of lilacs.
Busied by the silk of her own shadow,
moths move towards an inner flicker
that she makes when, soulful to her toes,
she kisses the translucent sky and sings

AFTER E.E. CUMMINGS

my exquisite baklava, your arms
contain the ample quietude of angels
yet we are magically real sentient beings
caught in tomorrow's universal will
of all things recyclable (time, god, death-
love & spring) awaking
fish-slender to sing a Valentine sonnet
in an apricotish dawn

somehow still worth our mentioning,
even if just food for dreams.

Time spent on 'it might still be'
has slightly more validity,
Very often, it seems, great deeds
are preceded by great dreams.

Time spent in the present tense
becomes the time that bears the fruit,
Actions bring the flower to bloom
that great dreams have given root.

Backstroking through the days,
armed shapes curve around you.


They are full.
They have a strong pull (current).
Some pass the bread and sugar.
Others leave you,
swimming quick,
to get away from
appearances long echoes on the air.
Some beings defenses are unchangeable.
Thoughtless fetters plummet.

less of the poetry.

Reaching for depths,
your hands encountered sand.
Unable to grasp the moment,
you let it sift into the past.

Why is it you weep in dark corners
while everyone else dances?
Why is it you cannot see the butterflies?

Someone sang for you a simple song.

they tell too many lies

A ship from Venuzuala
passed this way last week

then turned the other cheek;
they scaled the highest mountains
in search of cotton slacks
- a postcard I got yesterday
said they won't be back.
