		<description>    I love 
my hands on the curve of your back
our legs wrapped 
when I can't feel 
where I end and you begin
the feel of hair moving against smooth skin
my mouth, breathing your breath
when our teeth touch and tongues tease
I love your beard tickling 
behind my knees
and shoulders
across my stomach
I love 
myself, when I'm with you

		<description>  on the window ledge, the daffodils open in their mason jar of water
a dried bud keeps the smallest incomplete
its uneven yellow face turns to me, away from the sunlight.
do I love because I know one day I will leave?
in the garden
the crocus have begun to wilt,
except for the patch that hid themselves beneath the large stone.
in their solitude, they do not know the time to fade.

		<description>   tonight I'll write of sadnesshiding in lines of booksI share my bed with sadness, whose hands
reach from printed words
to caress my face and hair  drift through
musical harmonies
to whisper secrets in my ears  sadness that lies folded
in a faded shirt
casual softness draping
my shoulders, breasts 
and stomach, slowly tracing
the curve of my neck
and spine  sadness, whose gentle touch
is always there  the one I rest my head upon
and sleep        </description>

		<description>   
 after, we heard the sand cranes

far away, their voices sang like bamboo chimes in the yard

in spring they will gather till their songs are overpowering

till their bodies are all that can be seen

but on this cool day

as our world settles to sleep

they sing gently as they fly into the clouds

		<description> here we love

and rest our heads 

here you touch me

here we are unwound

here I am your lover

here our hands unclasp

and here I bid you leave 
 and in my hand, one acorn

that you will never see

		<description> you arrive as the last carrot is chopped

my eyes still wet from onions 
 today we have music

and at the window

red leaves dance shadows

on his laundry

waiting for me

to hang beside my own 
 beneath you I smell the celery

on my hands

 I am small, hurt and healing
 I wonder why
 I hear  blood pulsing 
 I see broken glass
 I want only sleep
 I am alive
 I pretend happiness
 I feel pain
 I touch deformatiy
 I worry in dreams
 I cry for my children
 I am curling within 
 I understand little
 I say less
 I dream in red
 I try
 I hope
 I am alive </description>

 because you eat the good ice cream

and leave 3 spoonfuls

I am forced to scoop with chocolate dipped fingers

the remains

and suck  till

my head throbs
