No pain meds for me,
he told me, I want to know...

He's not a bad man
just madly in love with Her...

I could be anyone I don't know
parts of me are unknowably strange...

Advantage of age
your gray hairs do not show up...

Hornblower on Deck (sonnet)
Horatio, why stalk this quarterdeck...

Why did you make me a fighter?
Thought you did me a favor...

If I give to you my heart
sew pockets hidden from sight...

Archer casts aspersions at the sun
crying light blinded aim...

She has a secret smile;
it could be from anything...

Child comes racing home
unzipping as he enters...

Word of your coming reached me far too late
did not halt the binding promise...

Candle burning in the window at night
draws me into the halo of light...
