With my heart breaking,
You visit me this evening
Tenderly again.

Afternoon Visit
Skin thin as paper
Folded on my mother’s arm.
My heart breaks with love.

Near the End
It’s like glass breaking,
The crystalline tinkling sound
Of heart chords ending.

Marilyn’s Mirror
Marilyn’s mirror
Shining light onto her light
Reminds me of mine.
Help with the Rent
Coworker angels
Reached into worn pockets:
Wonderful Life scene.
Angel Love
As you spread your wings
Ecstatic in your desire,
Your love is service.
Her Elderly Mother’s Recovery
Her energy rose
Above the DMV noise
During the phone call.

Your hands speak of love
As you hold your daughter close
After the wedding.
Mary and the Pistachio Oil
Rubbing in the oil
With her hair, oblivious:
Extravagant love.
So This Is Love
Saturday nights long,
Waiting until eyelids close,
Your return awakes.
