A couple
balancing
on each other
as the subway moves
Eyes locked
Hers searching
His sure
and smiling
Yesterday
Smooth Jazz
Sunday afternoon
easy like
black leather couches
flowing like
two lovers on a dance floor
Jazz sounds that smell
like mahogany.
Subway encounters
Sitting with navy blue
bleach stained sweatpants
La Virgencita dangling
from her young neck
Golden hoops and a messy bun
of black hair, reaching inside
an Andean woven handbag
for Jon Krakauer ‘s Missoula
Earmarked page 29
Reading, radiating
power.
Boundless
Writing
outside the lines
Creating
new parameters
Limitless
Riding the waves
of eternity.
Akin
Kindred connections
Like
Sequencing numbers
weaving made from
Cosmic
Dark space
Black hole
loops through
Time
Consistently
Reuniting
for brief moments
in the soul’s
Cycle
Voyage
Traveling through time
across the ocean
to poems
that I might have
already
written.
Adventuring
The butterflies
of anticipation
eyes eager
to feast
on new sites
mind ready
to be expanded
heart open
soul set
to explore
new limits
her/his makeup routine
Use
confidence as foundation
smiles for contouring
joy as a highlighter
kind words as lipstick
Messages
Her guardian angels
announced their presence
by making white feathers
appear.
putting the right people
in her path
whispered in her ear
while she slept
planting seeds
for her intuition
to explore.
Retrospection
Stumbling on a picture
of two people, smiling
her eyes closed
his right hand on her waist
her head on his left shoulder
his left arm across her body
both of her hands holding his arm
But now
unfamiliar to each other.
