My Gift to You …

April 20, 2020 by Dale Leave a Comment

My childhood’s eyes a world swallowed in a mint multiplication of every deed suddenly I can master anything just like my superhero Pop I’m a star, I’m hero, I’m singer every hum a single that brings tingles a sunset arranged upon my plate a half-eaten grilled cheese a fish-tail if you please a skyscraper of…

Saturday Morning

April 18, 2020 by Dale 3 Comments

We wake to a photon of early light pushing its nose through the curtains upon a crusted eye, upon a dusted dream spooned into the smallness of each other our bigness binds, blooms in nuzzled sniff until our bodies awake us to directions divided, we prepare our church for ritual, emptying the nocturnal holding tanks,…

Home — In You

April 16, 2020 by Dale Leave a Comment

Home — so glad to be in you — in every little corner you hide — me myself — lost in you — you a feather comforter — covering my fears — bruises — in new sight — wings test the air — alight back to you — your twine — binds fixes — faked…

Captured on the Grass

April 15, 2020 by Dale 6 Comments

Captured by the blue grass on the lawn we lay in the sunshine of banjo rhythms harmonica and Kentucky pain and pleasure gathers our world in the shambles of a grind guttural delivered from a foot stomping stage you can’t bury us in the memory of winter spent it is a sweet Indian summer, sticky…

Love Hate

April 11, 2020 by Dale 2 Comments

Her kiss was sweet upon my breath gliding me into the forever of her lips Her barbs pungent purple blisters unintentioned welts upon my heart A spaghetti stain a noodle dropped a meatball gobbled a tender leaf I didn’t share A flavour complete Thai soup that blooms Caprese salad Margherita I would marry I cannot…

Expanded

April 24, 2019 by Dale Leave a Comment

the phone calls would come — just after dinner time She would reach out across the miles and connect through a coiled cord — “ah-huh — he’s here — yes, Hadrian’s Wall — got it — I’ll tell him — yes, of course — I love you too, Mom” express more fully and in greater…

Oh Pinot

April 16, 2019 by Dale Leave a Comment

Oh, you, breaker of hearts, you awaken my palate with burgundy kiss fill my glass with celebration but just as often rot … just within reach sweet fruit for yellow jackets who suckle upon your tightly packed vines. Oh, you, breaker of hearts I salivate waiting for your mineral kiss soft soft soft upon my…

Unmade

April 1, 2019 by Dale Leave a Comment

Unmade Bed

Cast your eyes into tomorrow’s sky Steal perfection from the light Make the room dark for the night Squeeze the jasmine around the twisted air Tear the feathers out the angel’s wings Stuff a pillow with heaven there Fire the wick upon reflecting eyes Project our figures onto an unwritten wall Melt my hardness until…
