incandescent welcome
stepping across
this mythic threshold
hallelujah sounds
haloed sights surround
transcendent zone
for strike-it-rich moment
finding Fenway
at the end of the rainbow.

Renaissance Portraits at the Met
A death mask stuns
among gorgeous youths
older, bald Lorenzo
with pugnacious face
hung beside
his scholarly profile
in tiny portrait
sketched by friend Da Vinci
final cast more real in repose
against il Magnifico's ideal
suggestive perhaps
of a mafiaesque man of letters.
Conjugal Dialogue
She: What brought us to this moment?
He: Our tested and untested love.
She: What is the purpose of this challenge?
He: To build a better We than you or me.
She: How do we pursue this quest?
He: To investigate love together.
She: What is love? What is love not?
He: Love is complex with intricate strings attached.
She: Love is subject to the heart's control.
He: Love can be a hollow dream if only pursuit of perfect bliss.
She: Love can be an illusion composed of hope and false assumptions.
He: Love can be a chameleon with many emotional disguises.
She: Love may not be equal in all times of relationship.
He: Love needs giving with more giving to endure.
She: Love may not always have the answer.
He: Love may not be the alpha and omega of humanness.
We: Kindness is better...unambiguous.
