10-06 What He Told Me

the wind, blew

kisses on my knees,

unwinding,

folds of fabric,

from another summer’s

memory, soft,

unwinding, folds

of blushing kisses,

on my knees,

unwinding

folds of fabric,

whispering,

in the wind,

in the wind,

of,

summer’s,

kisses on my knees,

whispering,

I didn't know.

I didn't know.

I didn't know,

She, unwinding,

summer’s kisses,

on my knees,

whispering,

whispering,

I didn't know

I didn't know,

blushing, she

didn't know, blushing,

she didn't know,

she didn't know,

summer’s end unwinding-

in the wind

10-05 Again, Flight

alone,
in this,
and not,
alone as
traffic overhead,
honks, jamming,
the airwaves,
while I sit,
in radio silence,
wondering why,
the knob broke.

10-04 Winter Is Always Coming

snow in the forecast again...

shivering when you, he's near,
clutching, grasping, turning my head,
firmly to look at you, him, from him,
to you, your, where-ever,
no matter where the ever of Alaska
takes me, there he is, and you,
tapping me on the shoulders,
with your, his, skeleton fingers,
tap-tap-a-tapping,
on my shoulders,
pushing through bone,
digging, digging, digging,
skewering my heart,
words of winter,
no matter where you, he takes me,
there Alaska is,
fist-punch to the chest,
smashing, smashing, smashing,
words of winter,
yet you, he and you kisses my eye lids close,
so sweetly,
sweetly into the soft kisses,
of his, your eyes,
so sweetly, soft
there Alaska is,
falling words-
winter is coming.

10-03 A Spell For October

fairy dust,
fairy dust,
fairy dust,
to wake the eyes,
from deepest slumber,
lips and lies,
to soothe the truth,
beneath grey skies,
within the hearts of men,

oh, come, men, come,
come, men, come,

come find us,
wake us,
know us,
soothe us,
bring us, to
the back again,
with fairy dust,
to wake you then,
held within our lips and lies,

oh, come, men, come,
come, men, come

your deepest slumber,
in grey-ing eyes,
caught between our hearts and sky,
these men of October must not lie,
fairy dust,
fairy dust,
fairy dust,
bid them wake,
unto,
the good of night.

10-02 Caretaker

there's a reason,
and it's not what,
you think,
and I am not sure,
what to think,
so I play along,
and hope,
the reason,
is not what others think,
that you don't need,
a reason,
just a heart,
and that you have,
large enough,
to swallow me whole.

10-01 Shouting Out In The Darkness

monks in robes,
hold my arms,
dipping them in ink,
swirling woods,
forming conversation,
with a man,
I may never meet,
but who might as well,
be holding my arms,
swirling in ink,
forming a woods,
being a man.

09-30 Sad Beautiful

last day of September,
at the half-past line,
there you are,
in your sad, protected, rhyme,
moving in,
the heart didn't ask permission,
for you,
to be beautiful,
wild, crazy, beautiful,
and not.

the heart didn't ask permission,
but there you are,
and I,
don't know,
if I want,
to let you in,
let you share,
let this new, wild, crazy, beautiful, me
give permission,
to share,
cause at half-past,
you are still a man,
and I'm a girl,

is this house of September big enough,
for two sad beautifuls,
to be wild and crazy,
or will you,
not,

give permission,
for my heart,
to be beautiful.

who are you?
who are you?

but there you are...

last day, at half-past,
and I still don't know.

who.
