thoughts that come
thoughts that come
while hanging
mid-air, dhanurasana,
inverted –
om, a tugging at
the heart, funny
how disparate
parts of me
collide, inhale,
strawberries, a bag
of clementines,
and two
bunches of perfect
and fat scallions
wrapped in the
corner of yoga
practice, hold,
no one knows,
exhale, om

sunday arrives on
sunday arrives on
tiptoes, attempting
to slip past

laces, the odds are
starting to
tip
that i will
walk
away from you
as soon as i can
stand

on sunday morning, i am
concentrating
on the bouquet you gave
to me: with care, i take it apart,
assign each piece
into essential and
trivial. as usual, there are
more trivial, and i am left
with fourteen stems to cut, slice, and
rip into shape, before gathering
them to stand, mostly tiptoes
in shallow water – the typical
beginnings
of a relationship: uprooted,
unedited, and wet

conversing in colorful

sealing covert
