has it ever woken you up at night
because it's falling amber in the streelights,
so softly silent
and lovely?

i visited w/ myrna & her grandchildren

[keturandrea]

it was late afternoon
when i found myself
thinking of the desert
the beaches of barcelona
the sands of waikiki
my depleted bank account

little ones in
pink shortalls,
flit by faster than
the red-breasted robins
talking and laughing
in the poplars overhead
with the hummingbirds

osh kosh bigoshers slosh by too
bedecked in grime & smiles
to show for a hard days
work : pies galore line the sidwalk
all natural ingredients they boast
compliments of
Ms. Myrna's crocuss patch

creases criss-cross
the backs of my thighs
from a bed made from
leaves of grass

and i return at twilight
to my chamber mirrror
my blacker fingers
clicking up my username
and read what

a friend from back home writes;
of winter come to the desert.
all while here in our so-called arctic
God has cued the sun.

My first thought when I read this was "Damn, how does all this awesome stuff happen to him?"

And then I thought it was like that night you found a moment of home in our living room:
You don't go looking for it

and the planes
and the blimps
and the people
and the unlikely snowfalls

...find you
