Like wrinkles—
translucent scars soon appear
on its petals,
even when you have been
careful, holding it delicately.

all the clouds
in my mind
oh, i wish
to set them free
off with the wind,
far beyond the sea
maybe then
i will see
my life—
quiet and complete

Every writer first fears sounding like someone else.
Then comes the quieter fear —
not sounding like themselves.

Event in the Air
toasted almonds, charred naan
roasted sweet potatoes, steaming tea—
chatty air before the gathering.

(5/4 final part of 'RAIN')
Wash away
our ominous copies
of snapshots.
Inundate all remains.
Wipe off
these unreal mirages.
Before me,
I pray to you—
set him free.

And maybe then
I too could morph
and become the one
in your copy,
or you could become
the one in mine.
Distances are huge,
and the sea is rocky.
Risk to life is high.
Age is telling on me.
My spirit is weak,
my core—too realist.

Yet, holding a photograph—
still.
Perhaps both unfortunate
in finding love again,
longing to get inside the snap,
like children wish
to get inside the television.
Maybe that's possible
in a parallel universe.
