Coyote and Selected Poems by
 Lamar Thomas



Trying To Tell Her
 
 Walking down the stairs in a bright workroom,
 standing by the dishes smiling,
 she’s a sunburst on a sunny day.
 And I was holding my breath in,
 pink and tan face to red,
 and when I said I was blinded
 it was gospel, a truth,
 that when I look into her all else is gone,
 gone into the shadows
 from the drama of her presence...
 and I was holding my breath in
 hoping she would come near:
                                       and you did,
                                       and so I exhaled.
