I'd Like to Fall in Love One More Time

I'd like to fall
In love, one more time.
...

Everything for granted taken
never considering a sparrows
fall. in a world too busy too fast
for consideration we've lost
...

There are days when I

like my blue-eyed boy
...

This dark night is
A night for brooding
And I will brood
As I look at the clouds
...

every woman
a rosary bead
all the same
yet all the different prayer
...

This morning
While I was
Walking the dog,
A birdy in a short
...

This morning
I saw St. Catherine
On the corner the street
Not in religious ecstasy
...

I.
Everything was held together by
Duct tape, rusty nails and good luck.
It was only forty acres and we rented it all out
...

the evangelist slipped
fell broke his hip.

he was scheduled to go
...

we bought two picture books that day
one brown one red
the covers in faux leather
...
