from THE DAYLIGHT SECTIONS (53)

legato ribbon brings
jumprope to dark rivers
made the tone of light

for now all simple moments
strung together form
a life

vivacity comes true
because at night
I hear your breath

I offer my own breathing
in response I sing
dream back to you

all starlight you wear
something soft as
your perfumed skin

and I love even
the thought of morning
you against the daytime blue

Good God I'm back online!!

I've been off line for over a week with Explorer version 7 refusing to work.

Thanks Sheila for your poems :-)
