this night sky that comes

moonlit branches projected

to be a focus

cherry blossom swirls

swirls in your radiant light

everywhere I go

there is a pulse here

the tiny details abound

whispering of love

the most shadowed trail

at your beauty, your being

of that great distance

I hugged my mother

look inwards with boundlessness

of aether and light

ducklings form a mass

the negative space becomes

to root yourself in

cottonwoods have arms

wrap and hug life that once was

critical moments

seek out your zeros

sine, cosine, tangents and more

a moment will do

all tracks in your life

moonlit branches projected

reaching skyward — up

even planets, stars

for the number of poems

the remnants of life

some of us are those

fractals into more windows

I hear, I exist

you’re my paradox

the light of the sun and moon

iota of earth

Earth has silhouettes

accidental flushing dog

the universe rounds

trees churn with current

that provide us with brilliance

leap up to kiss sky

gratitude sneaks up

I felt the ground shake all night

the spring surprises

my cedar waxwing

you yell and fight over it

I glow in the warmth

I long for rivers

rooted, wooden, in whirlpools

trailing a mother

vestiges of trees

you peek over the grapes to

are we not of space?

The structure of you

pull me to that single point

I grew it for you

when you submerge, keep

to each other, back and forth

hope for unity
