and still
the wonder
the hope
each time
up at bat
other writing
smile like a child
you smile
like a child
a summer morning
no school
all day play
ice cream
and chocolate bars
life waiting
your smile
tenderness in my dream
in my dream
we sit
reading
how nice
you say
to do this
with someone
I cook
my famous linguine
with broccoli
we eat
staring
in each other’s
eyes
tenderness
in my dream
but only
in my dream
among flowers
here
among flowers
I sing
your name
your character
if you don’t
have it
inside
you won’t
find it
outside

smoke rising during Iftar at 8:30pm at the seaside in Maltepe
smoke rising
filling the sky
from hundreds
of grills
the smell
of meat roasting
here
by the sea
Iftar
what aging should teach one
that you can’t
do what you can’t
do only what you can
do as long as you can
do it
your heart
oh so high
the wall
around your heart
words in the air
words
in the air
are arrows
to the heart
Leonard Durso
