i sit with my bloggy blog at the neighbor's
where I am housesitting
and where I planted a garden
of sorts
last week
-----
comfortable furniture
feet up
warm summer breezes blowing through
open doors
all night
reminding me of the sublime joy
which i somehow forget about
until they come around again:
summer nights
-----
got here by riding my bike
took three routes so far I think
to feed the rabbit and pick up mail
guess about the age
of the food in the fridge
say hi to the neighbors
now three generations worth in the house
nice folk
-----
my overwhelming desire for love
is out of control
but at least I have been gifted
with the most beautiful countenance
on the Earth
on which to occasionally gaze
and for this and nothing more
i am satisfied
-----
in a certain sense I couldn't be happier
even if lost with my beloved
amidst ten thousand golden wildflowers
in full bloom
and the softest pink and powder
blue sunset over the pacific
with waves crashing below us
high on the cliffs
