several bites into

several bites into
sunday, we will
suddenly
wish to slow
down, savor
every sunday
second, in our
eyes, in our
ears, melting
too quickly
on our tongues

** in the absence of The Daily Post from WordPress, here’s your daily prompt: savor

we are held hostage

we are together

we are together
until we are not –
if we only
knew the brevity
of pain and
joy, resentment
and pleasure, perhaps
we could make
room, immerse
ourselves for
a little while
longer,
even longer,
in one another’s
presence – stripped
to only lifetimes

we are packed

without exception,

without exception,
even days can get sticky
tucked into your coat

pocket like that – pull one out,
take pleasure in its polish

catching pleasure in

love is a run-on

love is a run-on
pleasure that gathers all
gestures into context

context is a butterfly
net thirty minutes
deep capturing
delicate words

words are small, wild
animals caught
and released
after tagging and
studying them with love

love is a run-on
reverie that needs
no context to roam

nine out of ten, somebody

nine out of ten, somebody
is collecting data when
you least expect it –
color, shade, weight,
curve, the way it
goes down
– takes
your breath away

don’t let the way

don’t let the way
they see you
wrap around the
way you see
yourself – words
wriggle with pleasure
into serpents, and
shriveled things
are just that
