hold me
billow sail
silvered with
lust

the rust of mermaid
hair the streamer
calm

changeling heart
we play the part
The hero racing
the Villian proud

the mirror whispers
like waves on sand
the slither tongue

and a jaundice moon
slides like clockwork
through the ruins

"What are you waiting for"
exhaulted exhale
I can taste the salt
I can feel the depths
your scales writhing
with your turns

warm
slippery
love

Last night,
The crumpled bed sheet
Indicated the sojourn
you undertook
In the middle
Of a stark helpless,
lonely night,
as you braved
The surf alone
Oh what a bone!

To be human

I do it because it is there
And I love to be home and hosed

I take wrong risks
And want to be settled and married.

I have met my soul mate, often,
And loved deeply

I spread my memes,
Not my genes,

I give, love, lose and win

I live.

and I meditate on mortality
having lived extremely,
passionately and fully,
if I died tomorrow
it would piss me off
but it wouldn't kill me.

life goes by
as fast as hummingbirds
on tiny wings
too full of motion to see
she's not restless like me
she knows her place
finds her duty and
applies it

searching for nectar
stopping only
to realign herself

i watch from the balcony
her busy attitude reminds me
i cannot be tied
cannot be settled
always knowing there is more

and like the hummingbird
the next flower is adventure
next new scent
next new person i meet
