Observation

What happened to June
Was our love so noisome
That we could not bear the
Fragrance of one another
Blue broomed I chased you out
We have forgiveness still
Birds overhead when flew
Overheard what I thought
In my head questioning you
Nose to nose we meet
Making history with every
Breath we breathe and
Intimacy is running
Streaks of color up
My back and back to
Where you’re at attracted
To the magnitude
Between and then
Rejected by the
Unpredicted feelings of
Life that come and go
Same as the door squares
Opens and closes
Hang me up marked for
Battle with eye black
To reduce the glare
From sunlight and
Future arguments that
Have nothing to do with
All the roses thriving outside

Fractured

In a dearth of supplies and
A day of bloopers I am
Reminded of the shape of you
In the creation of a perfume
I climb round the edge
Of the coldest cliff
Sharp mussels clinging
To the rocks and the
Bottoms of my feet
How did we meet
In a world that is so big
Even that we did the anomaly
Reminds me just how small we are
In the air the fragments
Of a scent I cannot
Seem to bottle but to describe it is the
Fragrance of a beating heart
The breath of a flower
And the tear of a cloud
Finding my way to the top
I pull myself up by the
Roots of a tree that found
It’s way out of the earth
And into the side of me left with
Nothing but the scratches on my skin
And the aroma of a new parfum
Fractured by the light
Healed by the gloom
