Nothing's Something

When worthless, nothing--
peace passes understanding--
nothing needs nothing.

Cosmic Casino

For one kiss the world—
so for innumerable

Working for Work

After calling over twenty times,

leaving many messages

and having many conversations

the director finally says, “I’ve got the job for you”

and then each semester, for over a decade,

after I leave many messages

have many conversations

and thank my boss for returning my calls,

he thanks me for keeping in touch

when he hires me once again.

Recycling

Awake after dawn
our love overflows through friends
to all, me, you, us . . .

One Functional Family

We have always loved one another
more than we can ever remember.

Back to Back and Belly to Belly

May I always dance with you
whatever we say, think, do?

Maze Praise

We are gifts not knowing what to do
to find our way, needing us, me, you.
