Come a little closer baby
I feel like strippin' it down
Back to the basics of you and me
And what makes the world go round
Every inch of you against my skin
I wanna be stronger than we've ever been
So come a little closer baby
I feel like strippin' it down

A Turn to the Right
A Little White Light

Let there be a season when no one rakes,
when all tha has ever fallen can drift
with ordinary wings. Mithras, I hear you
out in the open, humming our favorite tune,
through a leaf and a comb.

Lead us as if we were righteous
into the blue light of heaven
where no one will forgive anyone
just in case it's condescending,
and we wil love each other
to the withered toes.

Carolyn Reynolds Miller

This Is Just To Say
by William Carlos Williams

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
