under this cloud shrouded
moonlit eve
breathing this cool margarita 
air of spring

my heart overflows
and churns
ebbs 
like the tide
it longs for you
your soft embrace
longs to dance wild
our waists
twisting like cats in the grass
of dusk alleys

i hold nothing but love for you
and i will continue
to give you these forages
because you are sweet as a beat
as tasty as bree
sleep easy dream babe
like an ocean wave
of
dumpter roses

Dumpster Roses

Love Storms

Hi Five

Lonely Wine

it's hard not to remember
how i rubbed tiger balm into your temples
when i see these pines again

your eyes hard on the road,
mine on your adam's apple

those pines

& you kept jewelry in your pocket
& you were going to play in a parade

at the bottom of the ocean
first kisses on the porch

bottlerocket chocolate

well i said,
that i'd always love you 
but i'm not quite sure that you knew what i meant

for darling,
forever is right now
eternity lives in the blink of an eye
