Scout
hmph. I ain't gonna be no scout
not in any sense of this word
i'm not going to precede the army
and i'm not going to sit around the campfire
i'm not scouting anything for you
unless it is to scout your heart
and find humanity alive and well

Language
language is a language
connecting me to you
and everything in between
if I can inhabit your words
make them my body's poem
I can touch your mind
and maybe find a passage to my soul
sunlit wanderings
words come in vivacious play,
the tinkerings of sunlit wanderings.
my mind connects to yours
in the center of sun's glowing dust-
motes! with music notes!
if this life wasn't a dance
I wouldn't know where to go
my internal vent comes with a valve
and its key is turning on the spell
of water whisper's murmur, murmur
the splash of which creates a pool
and in its cerulean serenity
you'll find my heart in turbulent sound
poems live where life is
and yet I have no life
living quietly in this sin.
So what am I to do?
give up me to become you?
just so I can have these damn
words to write on this forsaken
forgotten paper?
do you believe me to be that shallow
as if I am the waters we are wading in
satellite
word up
literally
this word is about satellites and sad old nights
sad because they're ending
this time we have to spend together under
starlit skies and summer sighs
staring at satellites and sparkled skies
with the moon orbiting and our minds racing
just one touch sends out that tingle
and just one look is forever my memory
