spring is hope
Watermelon seeds
and cut grass that promises to grow
Again
and
Again
and
Again
autumn is the ache
Empty wombs
and hearts stabbed by lost love
Again
and
Again
and
Again

TIME TO GO
When the flag changes colors the language knows
When the month changes numbers it's time to go --Feist, "Anti-Pioneer"
A deflated balloon caught in a tree means
there was a reason to celebrate
a birthday
or a baby
a retirement
or a "Better Over the Hill Than Under It"
It could also mean that what once was full
is now empty
or that the lazy landlord needs to get a ladder
or that

SHIPPING OUT FROM BOSTON
You're out across the cobalt blue
only 40 miles away
but beyond my "Hungry, Hungry Hippos" grasp
Pretty soon you'll be so far
that my desperate swipes
won't even ruffle your clothes
But if my arms could reach
all the way from Plainville
down to Fort Benning, Georgia
my limbs might be cold
but my prayers would be warm
And with you
only 40 miles away
but beyond my "Hungry, Hungry Hippos" grasp
Pretty soon you'll be so far
that my desperate swipes
won't even ruffle your clothes
But if my arms could reach
all the way from Plainville
down to Fort Benning, Georgia
my limbs might be cold
but my prayers would be warm
And with you
