Sifting Karma

I wanted to ask you
about Hesperus and early
mornings like this in the North
where the brightest star
is a talisman and a crimson lake
floats on a faraway sky

I wanted to know how
you slept and if your dreams
were white clouds trailing over
distant mountains and if your hands
held blossoms or snow

I wanted to tell you
that on countless walks
I have gathered these gifts-
leaves, pebbles, a melted
moon and three leftover kisses
from a picnic on the dunes.
