what I want

this is what I want
from now on
a slower pace
a more centered existence
and the feelings
of perfect happiness
to be found
in the moments
I come home to myself

quick thoughts 2007

heavy-heavy
yellow strip
graduated squares
fast hands on the clock
a propeller through your heart
crying aloud
missing something alive
my dog
green leaves and big beaked birds
mountains
flutes
alone
