MOUNTAIN GRASS

Rain falls on mountain grass; we remain close all day.

The fuchsia lifts its tendrils high.

I need you, to hold you, as mountain grass holds rain.

Dampness falls on dampness; rain on wet earth.

I am the traveler on the mountain who keeps repeating his cry.

WHAT WE PROVIDE

Every breath taken in by the man

who loves, and the woman who loves,

goes to fill the water tank

where the spirit horses drink.

POEM ON SLEEP

“Then the bright being disguised as a seal dove into the deep billows.”

I go on loving you after we are asleep.

I know the ledges where we sit all night looking out over the briny sea,

and the open places where we coast in sleekness through the sea.
