Grounded

Flitting bird cries across the sky
Elizabeth! Elizabeth! Elizabeth . . .

Her trailing grief
Alights in the heart
Pieces to the center
Swells to break against four shores
Leaving hair curlers in the sand.

Elizabeth! Elizabeth! Elizabeth . . .

An impossibly splitting soprano
Shadow against the sun
A woman stamps her feet and dances
To the husky voice of a summer squash

Elizabeth! Elizabeth! Elizabeth . . .
Tempting her soul from her bones.

Coming Home

I think that today
will be my home coming day,
the day I come back
to where I belong
even though,
I was never here before,
never in this place,
never with this person.
I know I’m home.
I can feel it.
And know I will stay
and that you
will stay
with me.
This place and this person,
have engulfed me.
Surrounded me in sweetness
and brought me back
from wherever I was,
Brought me home.
It’s the day I’ve been waiting for.
