this Poem
I’m going to send
this Poem
to everyone I know
just to see who
will give it Love
and let it take root
just to see
where my words
can sprout
how green
they can be
how well watered
in this world

THE SUN
I could have been gentle.
But you would have thought less
of me. I am no angel
and trees cover my light.
My soul basks in its own
flame. Rivers capture my
reflection. I look still.
I am a day star weeping
without a tear. I take
no pity on the world.
My name is the sun.
