Salty Soup

We started with me
forming him
in the little mini-sea
of my own womb.
Thirteen years
now
there’s much more
shaping him.
Side by side
but separate
still
in this salty soup
together.

Just a Love Contest

Hafiz

It
Is all
Just a love contest
And I never
Lose.
Now you have another good reason
To spend more time
With
Me.

Simple Soothes

This morning my eyes just want to rest
on small
simple
truths
beauty
being
soothing
sunglight
marigolds and blue glass
at my kitchen window
