there are his eyes

looking at mine
he tells me words
out loud

he rarely says what's below
this burns

seems alive and smiles
touches lips
can hear breathing

what depression
to have the infinite light
hidden

looks at me
lost my shining
sometime in the years
thinking of when this all stops

i'll wait and wait and wait

may be birds

Glückwünsche

Christina and Michael

today they've been married

today i heard a song along the shore

the sound of winds and laughter

today my friend called me on his phone

included in the gathering

i smiled to think

could hear and see her face

the thick air to gently sway the fabric

a sun and spots of cloud

today they were married

today the force of dancing and singing

energy friends

and love

the sky unfolded

a clasp of hands

to kiss in the glinting breezes

at the time

of spoken words

the ground begins to move

the clasp of feet against the cliff side

top crumbled little pebble

i stand

the world shifts within my axis

feeling very oddly

my friend smiles to me

tells me he must leave

i bid him farewell

may never see again

onward against the edge

the soft growing green

whispers sung melodies

the french blooms in my ear

what are you telling me

shoots of open green
