Too late to love

Too late to love

Now photos take me
Into the stream of love
From the past 
Visible to the world
Two images find me
Wishing for the hearts
Of two men
One an indigenous man
In his decorations
And breechcloth
The other a cowboy
From earlier times
Neither would look twice
At me if we'd met
Both years dead
I see them now
With love 
After this no living man
Will hug or kiss me
Knowing photos
Have captured my dreams
I would toss them all away
For any man to hold my hand

Dance

Dance


We have to dance even if we sway

In our wheeled chairs

We have to sing even if we just hum

We have to know art

Even if we only feel sculpture or

Touch a wall hanging made of rope

With tin cans full of dents

Many feelings fall from us

The fruits that grow

From the rain of lìfe
