Deepest Joy, The World Awaits Your Binding Love

A Sonnet to Jesse and Liz

As twilight wends its way to gentle night,

And Love seeks roots as deep as trees to ground,

As stars burst forth like flowers bloomed in light,

So Liz and Jesse—two soulful mates—grow bound.

Deepest Joy, the World awaits your binding Love,

To grace the day in Trust and Wisdom’s act,

At work or play, together or apart, above

The din and haste of busy days intact.

We greet you now, as two Whole Natures join

To go the height and depth and breadth of Heart’s

Committed dreams, and Beauty’s sunlit morn

Wakens Laughter’s sole delight ever to impart.

Jesse and Liz, you now begin your lives together

As husband and wife, friends and lovers, Pals Forever.

I remember the summer of twelve years old when / My mother took me to a Navy base exchange / To buy a chocolate malt, and as I sat at our table / I sensed a circle of white enclose the bloom, / A sensation strangely different from rolling down / The hill with my childhood sweetheart.

Urban Quest

The rain is coming down / in the city at the center / cars vans caravans of vans & cars / bicycles motorcycles ambulances firetrucks / crows eating debris from porches gutters alleys / earthworms in backyard gardens / eat kitchen waste spilled / from early morning garbage trucks / starlings on car roofs hoods windows / on the heads of walkers / on city blocks / up & down / leaves fall
