1100 Silkworms Are Fat and Greedy
Silkworms are fat and greedy, sounding like rainfall
lulling sleep, with their suction cup feet as they walk.
They're unaware that the strands they weave will end
in your pillow. That their life could contain all
of the colors of your dreams, they can't comprehend,
but you can, and should, all their beauty and yours, unlock.

1221 Ways of Saying Love
Just as you and I don't talk or hear quite the same
we each have our own way to receive love's flame.
And as you're careful choosing words for your thoughts
which will connect me all the way through your dots,
it will help if you show love in a way I can feel,
a request, not demand, to make our connection real.
