email to my husband regarding his return

i'm going to grab hold of your lips
and kiss your soft flesh
until my breath gives out.

Fireflies

Quiet steals the night

above i watch the

stillness in the trees

lit up by sparkling light

one by one they glow

like notes of a song

dancing in the sky

they put on their show

as if on cue

for i had just said

"God, it's me"

and then there's you.

i remember

I'm not going to stop living

you remind me with memories

dancing on dreams

and songs that echo in the night

I'm not going to stop loving

soul upon soul

on this worn path

to some godly place in the sun

footprints washed away in the sand

but we were there

i remember

grains still sift through my hands

touching me 

on their way to earth
