Mimi's sonnet #46
There's a witch who lives up on my block
She's got my gaze on lock
And always asks to read my hand when I walk by
The other day I asked her why
She said
"There's something in your eye,
I'd like to know what it is
Is seems like a powerful spell,
one of utter bliss,
Like a soft letter
Or a very wanted kiss
It is something I don't really know how to name
And it is a shame
Because you seem so confused about it
Though you know it is gold
Perhaps it is that magic
I've never really met
and have
always been told
The sort of magic that makes you heart spin
and your head beat faster
and your feet sweat inside of your fresh pink socks
Perhaps it could be that thing
of having a heart that lives in your chest
but is no longer entirely yours?”
Mimi's sonnet #37
I walk out in the early morning
Sometimes
To feel the warm sun on my skin
It touches behind my ears
And upon my shoulders and my knees
And I wonder if your hands are warm like this
If your touch is soft
And delicate
Or if it is ice cold
When you hold
Your lovers
If it is sun warm
Or burning hot
Under the covers
Mimi's sonnet #39
I once saw a bee nearby
she looked me in the eye
and asked
if she could rest
at the corner of my neck
then the bee
in her yellow coat
asked me to write a note
and I quote
“The sun is very bright
the sky is very blue
I have a little advice
I’d like to share it with you”
she gave me a kiss
upon the cheekbone
then she put her head to my chin
and went on
“the flower is very beautiful
but the true treasure lays inside
remember my words, be careful
there’s more to love that what meets the eye”
Mimi's sonnet #44
Sometimes
I wish that I
Could read your mind
Know what it is that you're thinking about
I turn around
And upside down
In bed at night
Thinking out loud
Composing about you
I dream and dream
Then clean and clear
My thoughts
So that there is no trace
Just in case
You can hear me thinking
Tell me, love,
As I'm writing
