For Dave,

IF YOU WANT

if you want to fly through space with no wheels and no handles
then you do that
if you want to dig holes and stare at tiny bugs for hours and hours
then you do that
if you want to collect rare books and count them every day, making sure everyone is comfortable and accounted for
you do that
if you think that your stuffed animals are real and you like to talk to them
you do that
if you like pina coladas, and getting caught in the rain
you do that
if you like big comfy tighty-whiteys, lacy sweet and sexy, thongs that ride up your ass, that you can feel every time you move,
 or commando
you do that
if you get straddled or don't while getting your hair cut
you do that
if you fall deeply in love, over and over
every day
you do that
if you find a friend you want to have in your life forever
you do that
if you want nothing more than to express your desire for that person
you do that
if you want truth and honesty and openness
you do that
if you want pure love
you do that

Mother's Day, May 2014

today my mama bloomed 
with magnificent grace
fulll of rich splendour
fragrance
and place
today my mama bloomed
in a wild flurry of beauty
soaring into the sun
buried deep in the soil
returning to life

the world's easier to see
through rose coloured glasses
but sometimes
the glasses come off.....
and you still look alright
naked
on front of the stage
