Gesture
I speak in real time As head motions hand to write I’ve uncovered layers of Self the fog of years roll revealing slowly the nature of Now – Wrought appears at The edge of these grasslands Stops to eat with my hunger Along the walkways of a Furrowed homestead meditates with the whippoorwills in the Summer fauna all green against green The infinite gesture of life unfolds I hold myself in this cradle of thought As the wise abutilon sings to me.

She talks to me in a sweet mountain
breeze in the looming nocturne of a
tinctured sky, the leafspeak and whispers
that sound like the color of your eyes
in the soft swell of your clavicle
the clavichord plunge of your lips –
I am lost in the language of your
curves found in frequency and forum
All of you emanating in the hymn and
harmony of your form, an azurestill of wonder
where sound lays seamless across time
time that cannot speak nor ply my heart
against these fulminations, the incantations
of your song, the native tongue of your
figure in fuchsia pressing softly, ever so
softly on my soul as evening serves us life
nectarean and unremitting

Moon water catches Breath of Life, the Unending songs of This lonely planet
Grabs grief like a Lost child finding Solace and grace In starlight of heaven
Here, I float within This still and quiet vision As if hovering above lost Tales of a Cambrian sea
Like visionaries and their Ways of water, their prophets Exceed the common good For all of us and I
Become captivated reflection The tide acknowledging my heart Along the shores of every step I’ve taken towards revelation

I sing now in a key
           of awe and lament
           this moment singing
Songs of memory released,
unencumbered by time
           parsing through me as I
love in the face of loss,
in twilight never known
piqued from the fount of a
           simple look you dreamt my way
dreams of past lives
they come in absolutions
and the reckoning of wonder
where I speak now in a language
I cannot articulate
where we exist in an absence of time
of quiet, peace and an overwhelming
sense of gratitude edged in
the twilight of miracle
Like seeing reflections of timelessness
seep through the sky’s canvas of blue
– a lake’s alpine mirror –
revealing I am flayed among 
the stars and their kin

Radiance
I walk with her In the acreage of neglected dreams she escorts me to A realm that sees the angels sing of time Gathered in a featherless touch of Agony where even Michael weeps
archangel tears of anguish
Such is the nature of her beauty Like a satin quill of starless nights in A Giverny of lessons I try to scribe, the whole of My hope and sacrifice enstates all, all to her other-wise –
and even then, just past the ethos Of this forest song I sing I am drawn to Her eyes of Awe
a frightful and lovely truth That I am within the pleas Of her only cost, the cost of being human Vulnerable enough To love as the angels sing.

There is song in the remaining sunlight the fire-pink in Sierra browns, reflecting delicate the strands and traces of your hair, the catered glow of your presence forming like an audition to the edge of Autumn   This is Summer that presents herself in terms of color, in stark melody and intemperate decisions, like premonitions giving way to your cosmic Light -   I linger here in this immeasurable twilight, linger in the realm of your eyes like a lost star formed in the birth of a Chaos in tatters, your stare boring into me and I forget where I am …   Were it not for this lucid frame of reference, the light noted languorously in degrees of ascent, you and I would comprise the captions of antiquity, our time here lost forever in the memory of our hearts     © K.

From the selvages of innocence, knowledge needing, she draws           to the edge of the sun           incised & contoured on the periphery of time bleached by the songs of           his longing, corbelled on           a pretense of dusk, the light looming as she appears now in a forming like frost patterns in glass           a geometry of fire           fractals of diamond, their stria aligned & enflamed the way a shore washes its stones,           a lullaby of calm [emerges]           sounding wave upon wave from the Sipapus of life - as he reveals love’s origins           in a plein of topiary forms           glistening in crowns of shadow where the gloss of his understanding yearns for her evening heart

is memory like light? the stars we see might have burned out consumed black into void thousands of years ago the light that reaches us, Anne, is memory, you’re right - something that once was and might be and are all of us like that?

While Night Abates
You find it hard to believe
Your spirit is beautiful
Of Hibiscus and spearmint
The headwinds of an
effortless ply of time, a lovely
soul who washes over me
Like rain in August like the
Horizon in Silhouette of
a Romanesque dawn
Like the fingers of spring
in an ambush of nightfall
Calloused in the soft arc
Of its touch, on an awakening
Both Immediate and clear in
mornings canvassed by the
iris mauve of this desert,
Like a shoreline Motioning me
to a whit of flight
A carrier of sunlight in
the soft loss of time —
