Erotic Issue


Innermost


you rise over
these rolling hills
like the ecstasy
of morning, flushed pink
and wet with dew

you enter me . . .
a falling star
p l u n g e s
into the silence
of this dark river

a black filly
with one blue eye . . .
earthshine


star trails . . .
we follow them
into morning


falling star . . .
the silver bracts
of protea


cloud fragments . . .
the slow blossoming
of stars

Broken


(the flower will produce new blooms)



(the seed will find a new home)



(the tree will grow new leaves)




(the spider will craft a new web)



(the bird will build a new nest)

forest bathing
I immerse myself
in your light


dew point
fountain grass bends
to the earth


calm lake
otters slip between
starbeams


pinnacles
the cup of valley
fills with fog


a grebe's nest
the rise and fall
of our paddles

sing us home

Kokako, Number 31, September 2019

ranunculus the delicate unfurling of dawn


slot canyon
the sunbeam only
a lizard sees


my basket
full of clothes pegs
I smile
at your jeans dancing
with my calico dress


taking shelter
in a graffitied doorway
the stray and I
decide to become
more than strangers

the hauntings of invisible
