dusk time apple picking
dervishes duel in the kitchen
laughing
autumn preparation of fruits of Eden
via Truchas, New Mexico
unbelieveable tenderness from a
dinner companion
sharing a willow settee
revealing great sadness
listening to heartbeats and crickets
learning to be still
when disappointments
slash through the flesh of my ego
my suppositions
my desires
allowing warm arms around me
ribbons of doubt
wavy, gently streaming from my mind
as vibrant learning tools
before open eyes
trembling within
stronger without
Happy Birthday to Me
