(I love big cities but) I'm glad I'm home

appearing overnight
to eclipse gravity, light, and language
beloved, who is this wild animal
with its tiled back turned
whisper to me the place it came from
why does it watch for you to sleep
creep glances to your chest

thawing pains

coming back in years
linked as casually as a road
hissing between this city and the next
then linking onward to the next and the next
alone we are born and in tears
then relate to mother, grandmother, another
extend our miniature bodies with immense hope
and always love--growing ever greater,
even greater than life--we may never speak
again, yet our echoes surrender new conversations

temple scene
And then I yelled up again: never mind....
I mean, Kali statues at the temple are practically wearing skulls as a necklace; my 14-year-old can wear what they want.

(before my parents' arranged marriage)
she once told me how in the late sixties
she'd take the 21 bus from her college
to go "flirt" at the university library
Heading home meant rules and four younger siblings
so she'd stay back to read trashy novels
knowing dudes were watching her
from neighboring desks
knowing she'd never be allowed to work
using the few years she had
(I mean, that would be to risk a bad reputation)
who seemed a very serious type
(she was too taken by surprise to counterfeit, so)
he turned on his heel--and she laughs--
she never saw him again

ECG Sonnet
and sink into my heart
quicken my blood
dissolve our lives

in agreement

Pic: KB came down to Lansing and I was SO happy to share my favorite woods with a favorite person.
