(A few poems I wrote many years back - again, they seem relevant now.)
Hu can keep me company tonight?
Not my bowl of noodles,
Not my Rumi book,
Not my two friends on email,
so far, so crypted,
Not even my music.
Hu will lay over my back and watch
the words I write with this pen,
and smile about my
pacing, stir-crazy restlessness?
Hu will lift me up like a warm, salty ocean
and request my beauty of dancing scales catching the light?
Hu will dance inside me and guide my body
to the next right thing?
Hu will mirror my ego and make space for my love?
Hu will watch over me so I can stop watching myself?
* * * * * * *
Without distractions
let my eyes sink down
into my chest scanning
other chests,
moved only by
the honest value
of the human being.
I will not be
distracted from
seeing you.
No lipstick or
fake laugh
will get me to take
my eyes off
the pure beauty
you were
born into.
