Lost

Watching my
demented mother
water plastic flowers
on her porch,
I come near
to seeing my face
before I was born.

A Mermaid's Dreams

No place else,
I'd rather swim.

Dream Song

Dreams that drove us
when we were young,
now render us
tired and cranky.

Age engenders
exhaustion
and not just
in bed.

You remain,
the one dream,
floating through
the ether,
reminding me
of all the dreams
I dreamed
before.
