Everyday Gift

I feel afraid when I receive gifts

but my everyday is a gift.

unbearable
how sweet inhaling and exhaling is

how light plays on my skin.

pine and peppermint
scenting the air.

I have no choice
but to open
lay out
adorned
glowing.

earth between toes

fruit juice on my fingers

The Clover Patch at Night

The clover patch at night

bends beneath stars.

Shadows, dark and sweet,

shaped heart-wild,

fairies biting and pinching,

dancing their trio of leaves,

tiny foot-paws soft against soft.

Eyes that flint
with an edge of insanity.

Worshipping the small, delicate

the secret nectar
of the magic hour.
