Love may be
Love may be a greybearded old man
giving great belly laughs out of
a tobacco stained yellow shirt
while small birds light and perch
and small children play in vacant
lots and an osprey fishes in cold
northwest waters with its aerial
view of trout making headway against
currents & we in complacency
think of all the sane reasons not
to watch the six o’clock news as
three women in Puerto Vallarta wrap
crayfish with cornmeal in husks
to steam into tamales for their
children to sell on the beach, all
for what we have to have..

Voyager takes us through space
red and blue strobe flashing
cruisers making way
for emergency or small sins
against the state
sedate homes fill windows w/light
& inner movement
as if the city & small towns & large ones
were urban box cars riding the slow surge
of the continents past a somewhere
in the midst of words being laid down
foundations–forming parameters
of love–by a ubiquitous universal knowing
that we are transceivers
for us a long ago thought
for us to percieve ourselves
in dark light years of emptiness & unending love
while it is we are startled by new ancient wonders
volcanoes in alaska, washington, pagan, phillippines
several thousand were on Io’s fly-by
& while flying past
Saturn’s Rings we found
the beauty of form reaching unsurpassed
and back again–miracles
like morning light on half-visible
breast w/long hair
overflowing & springsmell jasmine, or an unseen
moment before a flower fades & Voyager has left the solar system
