estrangement walls
nonstop simoons
all nest like cuckoo bees
you’re
my remedy for wounds
some stranger’s bride-to-be

my heart’s in you
encompassed views
with crime-scene-warning tape
it pounds
and waits for any news
to shape escapes’ roofscape

remorse invades
inflictions fade
oh priceless love-to-go
we lost
in time both oars to wade
few kisses less ago

love is a child
less meek more wild
when we apart I’m blind
and burn
a smile that slides to mild
to touch you in my mind

the keyhole lights
game days lose nights
stock future sweet as gean
am I
so wrong to feel so right
to sight your fruits and glean

for what it’s worth
in gain and loss
where angels fear to tread
you are
my host at any cost
my water air and bread
