Who hold up the sky

Country morning
Everyone’s out –
The deer, the sheep,
the rabbits, the cows …
Sounds in the silence car
Scraping
Ticking
Bells
Warning
Engine
Air
Things you don’t expect
Even when you know they’re coming.
The heart worn out.
The final breaths.
Laughing in bed
It’s so absurd!
The love hiding in cupboards
Love in a corner,
under a shelf,
shadowed love,
dusty love,
crinkly love;
young, ripe and bursting love;
the sad, agonizing,
longing kind;
listless love,
weary love,
angry and killing love;
bored, yellow, and
dutiful love – and
yes, even, waiting patiently:
God’s love,
quiet,
in no hurry at all.
Family relations
Sometimes all you can do
is the dishes
The universe laughs
At our petty squabbles
Lo, she overflows
In midnight waking hour
Midair
Clinging to a ladder
hung from a copter,
trying to tie my shoe
