Come With Me
If you have ever bit the skin
of an orange, lifting
flesh from flesh,
life from life,
you can come with me.
If you have ever sat at the wake
of death, eye-to-eye with the
giver and, or, the taker,
you can come with me.
If you have ever put your body to rest
under a sky full of the blackest of
widows,
then come with me, please.
If you have ever coasted over a
thousand scissors cutting
every corner of every thought,
then please, come.
If you have ever melted into
the sun, begging to be rooted
into the eclipse,
If you have ever swallowed a pearl,
hoping to be turned into gold
then come with me.
Question For Readers
What would you guys think about a maggiemaeijustsaythis pod cast or live talk radio?? Would you call in?
Would you be interested? Want to chat?
IT WOULD NOT BE POETRY. But could be about poetry, writing, and other topics that this blog explores.
Any and all comments would be awesome!!
Thank you!

His Name
just the beginning,
slithers off wet lips with charm.
Mockingbirds use many tongues
to sing of slick footprints
stepping in,
stepping out.
At first blush they call,
crested blue, aggressive;
wild for the North,
where dragon fruit merges with devotion;
where I found his name.
We spread together as far as Summer could take us
until we melted into sunspots at the edge of the Earth,
high desert heat drying out our love.
Later, we flew south in high, asthmatic screams;
nocturnal – fugitive.
It is never the first time.
It is never the last.
His after tastes like a razor blade,
but I am a glutton and I cannot
let go of his name.
