I love the Baby Giant Panda;
I’d welcome one to my veranda.
I never worry, wondering maybe
Whether it isn’t Giant Baby;
I leave such matters to the scientists:
The Giant Baby — and Baby Giantists.
I simply wish a julep and a
Giant Baby Giant Panda.
some nights
the senses
make more sense
than anything else
parallaxis
you & i we run on
beautiful parallels
creating a shape they
never taught me in
geometry classwhen your lines run
along the horizon like
warm July sunsets then
i veer standing tall
& stately against
rose-tipped clouds &
a hint of summer rainwhen you emerge from
your quiet sleep on
the dimpled side of our
bed awake & erect i
lean down to become
your parallel lines &
complimentary shape
more than I think
I think there is more
more music more hope more reasons
to stay afloat & more than I think
I knowI see your skin peeled back
& underneath a fine layer of essence
that stays afloat & more than I think
I love youI am I am & without you
I am vaguely making waves, treading water
& staying afloat & more than I think
I need you
karkadann: a Ghazal
with passion and fury I fly across the sands like the wind,
anger in fresh desert furrows, baring my teeth to the wind.
my skin tingles, thrilled, as I imagine his deft touch again,
but moments are not genies nor spirits; they flee like the wind.
I sweep up the dunes, hard and proud, my mane and tail streaming,
stretched out to my limits, straining towards his kisses like the wind.
never has my own kind shown me such tender ministrations,
dismissing my passion as foal’s folly, soon cleansed by the wind.
his adornments are fleeting, but my prince wields his fine sword well,
yet now I stand at the edge of the storm, defying the wind.
I am not to be called, to be caged, to be collared or chained;
try to reign me in, and I will flee like the hot desert wind.
