1035-1043

Saying you're less down
means to say that you're up, but
too down to say so

Spirit animals
seem to have eluded me
but not spirit friends

Articulated
is the right word for buses
with accordions

Sometimes what we need
is a nap and a blanky
then maybe some juice

Everything is breath
Exhaled to get blown away
We are breath from breath

Of all assumptions
My least favorite might be
Assuming we know

How best to express
that writing is rewriting?
Need to try again.

G-d is at the Alps
And here at Lincoln Plaza
Watching Paterson

Like other tall tales
Time is not an illusion
Dates and ages count

Maybe call it white
or black, instead of "the grey"
"grey" leads me astray

To write is to call
and pretend that you don't care
if there's an echo

Time to go outside
To face the darkness and cold
It's time to go home

Unforgettable
You keep coming back to mind
You're still lingering

There's something about
my listening, my loving
that draws people in

Sometimes we're hurt most
by the things we wrongly think
of as protections.
