Cool Breeze Continuum
you are the only one
not flowers, not a ford mustang
diamond paper cowboy
you are the only one
who calls me to talk about the passage
how it moves fast
space travel—rockets
or to tell me everything
almost wasn’t all right
but now it is
you discover new
island boundaries
looking at 19th century
New York Harbor maps
street poppies oh
I love them...thank you!
funny today I was
taking photos— huge blossoms
against silver scaffolds
blooms and concrete...
sometimes words can’t carry
alphabets don’t mean anything
so I just grunt/ laugh/ smile
hiccup/ cackle/ caw
& hope
you
catch
my
warm
drift
