dave's poems, all two of 'em


kick

walking through the park
sprinklers on the lawn
cold toes - wet boots
kicking small tufts of matted lawn clippings.
The fences are down.

kicking a killer shake
me to chris
chris to me
silence apart from kick
scrape
kick

What a unique condition is love,
So rarely offered,
So rarely reciprocated.

What are the odds,
What dice roll determines,
That love, real love,
When offered unequivocally,
Should be matched,
Met half way.

You can tell,
You know,
When you really think,
This is it,
It's like wow.

Just bath in the glow,
Learn to accept,
And hope that in time,
You'll be the one to cry,
Snap.
