Butterfly Knowledge
 
A butterfly speaks to you
if you watch
it flutter
 
the butterfly speaking
its wings are lips moving
 
its language
feeling the air
 

A River Flowing
 
A river
has knowledge
if you listen
you can hear it
 
what does it say?
 
 

I tell you
 
Take this kiss from my lips
like Odysseus to Penelope
rest your villain heart
bring your fire-light
the thunder that moves away
from us
 
kiss me for this body
a river
through me
into you
