Friends will always exchange

potted plants

Every time I fill an ewer 

I am reminded of the other

a sweet warm hug

Lovers should send fresh-cut bouquets

to remind of every breath

that is unreturnable

every moment that is alove

to remind me where I need

to grow, change, or come back

to myself

To go together to countries

where flowers come from

To dream to be forever

through all the worlds

"Giving you flowers is the great gift of life."

I find myself a little sad

growing out of the old

Not missing it

because, like Princess says,

to miss is such a gift to give

for it requires love

Paul David Bond Pesqueira

We live in different illusions. My brain calls the morning alarm 'cold soup', I eat typography for breakfast, I need to know what happens to the energy after lightning strikes the earth - does it form geodes? and I know there's a benefit to the webs left behind spiders monkeying their way from branch to branch, from tree to tree. I want to mix my illusions into yours, erase the spaces and illuse new ones. You with me?

Someone's here, - I thought

and the light flooded the kitchen

tilting the horizon

Can't hide my desire

for velvety smooth cacao

for warm undercoat I don't possess

The song of summer

has been unwound

Thinking of changing my address
