Stuck in the cafe' lanes, you just don't know, what you have to pay, the same with John Doe, and other one time Beaus, which way it will go, just when you say, God give me a show, someone else turns up late, boy they break my bones, think that if I dance slow, they can take me home, forget finding a mate, winter rills are full of snow, tell them I have to skate, need lightness not groans, wine to sip not jersey Joes, have no need to atone, starting New Year's happy day, listening to the wind blow, laughter rises up again, shines my soul.

By a train last night, I swore faithfully , no more just the sights, travelling to Naples, the train rocks me gently, it says everything's OK, we talk of a writer, called Andrea Camilleri, you kiss me quietly, stars know when they're made, glamorous, perfect, serene, it makes me scared, images best taken in light, show what others don't see, why so many have cried, look at how they sway, the poor on the streets, begging at St Anthony's quay. bless Saint Philip Neri.

Your house beyond the dunes, roses listen at the sky, does death bring us truth, all poets die intestate, however much they lie, is this a time for rage, even God is not immune, don't put his love aside, he's not one to dupe, fire burns in the grate, look up and give a sigh, anchors bind my feet, it isn't me you fool, dancing in the tide, you know who loves you, all our petty hates, left hanging out to dry, lover's fervant states, come to say we're through, pilloried troubled nights, God what a crew, doubts go from your eyes.

Can you remember the sea, its swell and the spray, our dance of Thebes, now the kids have gone, snowbirds flown away, it looks after its own, we dance on windy beach, at the end of our days, all's within our reach, yet parts of the home, lie suddenly drained, we find ourselves alone, you tickle my feet, guide me like a stray, my troubles ease, across winter fields, furrowed into fine lace, I forget my worries, catch views like these, little wonder why I pray, buy me chips and coffee, introduce me to Cocaine.

Ximena

Who hasn't thought, alone and perplexed, thinking oh Lord, maybe a drink of wine, the burdens of text, Birthdays or Valentines, consume all that's sought, down throats of the vexed, wonder how we're doing, spending everything Online, wonder what pops up next, asking for money or time, husband;s lover's divorces, light moving from the West, drunk and overwrought, who;s died in the Mall, staring at the rest, don't give me a call, a bundle of noughts, file compatability tests, isn't life joyous, are'nt we always pressed ?

Ice and blue this morning, colors of the way I feel, between Me and him snoring, Chicago's full od snow we;ve hit an amber need, the way things are going, while its still the dawning, looks all set to freeze, why I fought so long, geese raise barren tones, my life is with their creed, their crying seems old, bravely honking never fawning, racing south to new fields, am I lucky to have nothing, to stay on the stones, step smoking just at ease, standing in the cold, thinking of the sea.
