Suddenly everything is delaminating
People are popping right off
the surface of humanity
I am coming loose from my previous lives

The woman in shorts chooses to
remove her own clothes
even as the men at the café
continue to watch her
without hooting once
because they have learned
how to contain themselves
while smoldering.

By a wiseman once I was told
Keep an ounce of optimism in the heart
Keep a space for newness
Keep optimism in the heart
And include yourself as part of it
And now the mysteries of memory
Are caught up in their own cloak
And I am in your mind

When words were first born
They were like pure prayer
I could see them in the sky
And hear them whispering through your hair
But now they’re like dreams
That only sorrow owns
We still need the sun
We need to find
Solace on the ground

When the truth is spoken, we don’t know
Where to look, as if we only know someone
Has gotten away with something big
Or stolen someone’s heart, knowing how easy
It was, how fragile, how true to itself
So open and weightless, without guile

The sky’s on fire with existence
When I’m around you
Your wandering kisses enter my soul
But your quiet beauty may be
What really carries you
It is like
Finding and touching the
Pearl of existence
To be near you
Was that your tattoo
