Complexities and complications

touches

they fondle
intermittently
so soft
so subtle
so sharp
like the palm of a babe
like an early prickly heat
seesawing
caressing
stinging
a pleasure
a hurt
a burn
your words//

Exodus V

haiku

at 2 in the morn
a thought: without you my words
mere bricks without straw.

Asymmetry

asymmetry

love when
less than requited
bears bitterness in
its wake//

exodus and le boulanger

first red ribbon

each dawn
bar Sabbath day
flakelets fell upon the
ground bewildered we asked manna
manna

meaning
what what without
knowing we could eat them
til one baked bread eaten on the
sabbath//

Elijah's Lament

hearth cake and water

pursued
by ahab
and jezebel prophet
elijah ended up in the
desert

thirsty
hungry tired and
so unlike job he asked
his lord to end it all under
the broom

tree with
a noosed rope but
gabe the angel smacked him with its
wing and

said you
are a man not
a mayfly elijah
you need to climb horeb so eat
and drink

grumbling
he complained what
am i a horse that drinks
water i prefer ale or wine
so gabe

smacked him
again and he
ate the hearth cakes drank the
water and slept under the shrub
until

gabe smacked
him a third time
with its trumpet this time
shouting wake up sluggard and go
to the

mountain
already for
the lord has things to do
other than waiting for you there
as a

burning
bush and so
the prophet went to the
mountain because the mountain won't come to the
prophet//

Tongue in Cheek

remembering nitoy (b 21-08-1946)

if there
really is an
afterlife i am still
waiting for a postcard from you
maybe

you were
right after all
but in case you're wrong let
bygones be bygones my email's
unchanged//

The Choices We Make

RSVP

in her
hilltop home with
seven columns wisdom
had set her table with ample
meat and

wine for
her invited
guests all simple sans nous
most went to the house of folly
instead//

heartstrings

before
poets troped the word
anatomists knew the
aortic and pulmonary
vessels

hollow
cables holding
down the fort we call
our heart//

recension

every
decision that
we make we always think
we ought to rethink not leaving
what is well enough
alone//

departures

in this empty room

no chats
day in day out
for days and days the room
stands still almost forlorn until
someone

departs
leaving the rest
still remaining to grieve
and touch before our room goes
empty//
