RADIANCE

Our days of bliss
may count as few,
but how they bless—

for they outshine
(and shine on)
all the rest!

AT DAWN

Over life, over love,
what need
have I
for else above
a glimpse of sky?

PLAY PEN

If I had an endless pen,
what would/could/should I say—
or write or draw, or somesuch way
manage to convey?

Well—
after who knows how much play,
I’d give that thing away!

PLUS OR MINUS

Two bodies,
four bodies,
six on the bed;
comfy as heaven.

Wait!
here comes seven,
bringing commotion
leaving just two—
(minus the cats,
just me and you).
