BREAK AWAY ~







Baby Asleep





Walk around

Listening to

My boots








Break Away






Break away from the world

Even a loving child, friends

That travel long distances

To be with us; cross the

Shallow river to a bank of

Ferns, undress while wild

Chatter of the kingfisher

Hunts the long summer water

And years between us since

We’ve done this — naked but

For your necklace — under

Trees, evening in the leaves

My arms circled around you






From His Hand






From his hand

Awakening us



In bed, two small

Carrots brought



Out of the garden

Barely washed he



Wants us to bite

Down into what he



Terms a surprise

And we gamely do —



Watching his smile

At this given sweet —



Knowing five years ago

He was our surprise







Mother & Child





You lift

him

with a

smile



& he

smiles



back

which lifts



you
