life
like sex
is over
before you
know it

what a life this is
eat
drink
sit
sleep
observe
stare
go
no
where
contentment exacts its price

all is given
fully contained within
each time we touch
and become
all of everything

the future approaches
rattling its sword
secure the door
against approaching knight

David Sermersheim

if you listen
to the wind
whisper your name
in the space
between the leaves
you have found
the place that holds
all of everything

if
you
can't
untie
the
ribbon
don't
open
the
box

placed just so

the stone becomes

a heart

or fallen star

catching light crystals

glistening

in its crown

one among others

of its kind

forming a circle of love

arranged in a design

of simple things
