California Nights
In love’s arms

Where Jack and Allen
and Michel once walked
I land in love’s arms.
There are times you
leave, you go to faraway places
to escape
or find yourself
sometimes you get
on a plane
to do both at the same time
Because there are
no palm trees
not much sand, no sea
where you call home
and you hope
the same moon is coming with you
But sometimes
she doesn’t show up
even when the California
night is so perfect
you can’t believe
you’re only sharing it with
the stars
But Love’s arms
find you anyway and take
you inside
for coffee and Indian food
Maybe the flight
made you
tired
