entering may



entering may
as may enters me


with a woman's silk and touch
with my m from mtl friends visiting
with the full moon rising


they came and went quickly
left the house still humming with activity
with traces of happy faces
excited meal organization, abundant variety
and their cleaning-up nicely
many-a-chinchins, many-a-chitchats
we sang quite a few of them beatles songs
met the morning lazy with m's fancy coffee

there was this precious alone but together moment
that still echoes down the river and in my heart
one lay there napping the other one playing guitar
the new lovebird texting, the youngest kicking to handstand
a last one stretching and gazing at the moving clouds

the weather was unreal
yielding sunny breezy bug-free
walking the forest like it was autumn
noisy steps in dry brown leaves
not yet a bud in bloom



we got prana-sprayed by waterfall mist
and there we lingered, just for a little bit
cleaned deafened by the torrential flow
cedars pines moss aglow


i'm entering may
with this lovely lot
the potent month of may
when heat rises up
when the earth skin opens
and enters what may or may not

shoots up what can
or cannot

spring for skin awakenings
spring for vibrant in-soakings
cause who's to say what the summer fast forward tumbling
what this summer will bring

what may or may not loosen and unknot
what may respond and correspond
you've arrived at (a) destination
yet you wonder what benevolent schemes
have been stewing secretly
in unseen vicinity


entering may
as may enters me
friends foe family
alone but together
quiet, merry, ordinary
