		<description><![CDATA[Purple Dawn on the hill
would open orchids
with mental jaws-of-life,
boldly blazing,
But a quiet moment
has Venus flytrapped her,
mirroring her brovada,
leaving her limp.
Wilted! Just add water
and she&#8217;ll daisy dance,
teaching Crayola-cheeked children
the sublime cartography
of tripping on joy,
of squashing trailers,
of walking on hot coals
with matches between your toes.
It&#8217;s a vision worth
open eyes
every time she climbs down
here.

		<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;re a cheap shoe,
a K-Mart ingenue,
white sole, synthetic smile,
sloppy laces fated to fray,
sloppy canvas that bleeds my socks.
Always complications!
I&#8217;ve been lucky enough
to find just my size
and then the surprise of
an enjoyable fit.
A one season shoe,
no presumptuous spring
in your step,
bouncing back from
the perils of pavement.
You give in at the toe, heave ho.
And I out grow, and,

		<description><![CDATA[Now Blindness asks, What&#8217;s in a photograph?
That bending scent&#8211;your garden, ripe with dew&#8230;
Your softball scar! My gawky dyke giraffe!
Some laughter echoes, tracing down our youth.
The card&#8217;mom ghosts that clung to kitchen air&#8230;
House renovations&#8211;rainbow gingerbread&#8230;
The peachy rinse that clouded your roped hair&#8230;
Accordion folds&#8230;your grin, the sheets, our bed&#8230;
Apartments old and brittle; photographs.
So clingy to the touch&#8230;Prints [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s a brute and it’s abrupt,
concrete step, cold in summer,
4  a.m. Geneva. Sterile gowns are
being unloaded beside me.
I guess  they’ve learned to leave
the grieving alone on this shift.
It’s  the most complete thought I’ve
had in an hour. If I don’t take the  next
breath, the next moment won’t have
to come, the one without [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bathwater Tea
Let’s banish Earl Grey in
favor of darjeeling
but  bring back the
bergamot when the
window moon sings
lavender,  orange peel and steam.
Candles from your “used” box,
red, peach,  lime, cobalt colors,
sit on saucers from the
set your mother  gave&#8211;
If she only knew.
It’s a clawfoot kettle,
a tapwater  Niagara
spills, rage into resignation,
passion into peaceful
poolfullls  of surrender.
Nowhere [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You may have noticed my posts are heavy on poetry lately. It is Poetry Month and I am moving several older pieces from the now defunct gaia.com. Movable Borders has pretty dated headlines in it, but it still rings true, the same old dance with different dancers shooting at each other. I wrote this, thinking [...]]]></description>

I discovered this t-shirt, with celebrity women allowing their images to be idealized, on Barack Obama&#8217;s site. I was searching for an image to accompany a post expressing my giddy elation that he&#8217;d been [...]]]></description>
