cracked
It was a sound so faint,
she heard within her head,
like a hair line
fracture on a soft bone,
as the pain reached her
she could not locate it,
to sooth it , rubbing her fingers
against the skin where it covered the bone
It took her a while
before she could pin down
where the sound came, where
the hurt was and the pain
on the right lower corner,
where she looked out, within
the spread she saw, there was
a crack in the scene spreading out

Summer nap
The hours linger
afternoons are long
and shadows hide
in corners humid with anticipation .
I know I have stayed long
too long. My skin is bare
my hair unkempt coming off of a
barefoot summer,
the oceans blue
at depth far from here it
extends closer to the shore floating
within the streams that run to the ends of the earth.
In my dream
I fall motionless
with my arms open
to my sides,
not in a way
to catch my fall but to diminish
the velocity of my descent and maybe
to linger lazy, a bit longer
submitting to my fall
looking down I can see the blue planet
and somehow it seems I could extend my hands
and reach it
The afternoon leaves me
the air moves away from the shore
I open my eyes and all I can think is that
This is my life I am living
