Never the coach
Never the mentorEver the athlete
Ever the inventor
We stroke each other
We are bright
We are nervous
We delight
I can love you
I can write
You can love me
With all your light
I can’t find you
If you hide
I can’t want you
If you guide
We can balance
We can ride
We can dance
We can slide
I like beer
You like rye
I will try yours
You will comply
If you doubt me
I will listen
If you question
I will glisten
I will dust
If you mop
I will love you
If you flop
The music moves us
Silence removes us
Bird songs intrigue us
Our voice relieves us
Fuck is good
Cunt is confusing
Shit is bad
Is there a point? To this?
Some jokes I do for you
And some I do for me
What I do for you
I do for me
I want more
You want less
You want someone
I want Tess
I don’t care
You know that
I risk freedom
You can’t bat
We’re getting close
The edge is near
We have no map
The ledge is fear
I can tell you
The beer is fresh
We trust garlic
For our flesh
You fold your hands
I told a story
You question sands
I told you glory
Kiss me now
Kiss me later
I am willing
To be your waiter
I love you 140 characters at a time, and I love you 4 lines at a time. xo
ReplyDeleteI love you too. Perfect four line poem. I could never do that. That was such a treat. You trip through those four line stanzas with such grace and humor. Brava!
ReplyDeleteI think you could make big bucks as a lyricist too.
Here's to you Jenny. For all the love. laughter and spirit that you spread throughout the day.
ReplyDeleteYou are a true gem.
I can tell you

That is lovely. Simply lovely.
You often remind me of Tori Amos in your prose style; that voice of wandering, cross-cutting paths. Endearing and enchanting.
