Slanted figures moved up
and down the rolling ridge line.
I turned a corner and the birds
hidden in the field scattered

as if I had disturbed a secret meeting. I held out my hand for the butterfly, but he was interested in everything else.

I think the mingling of imagery for the extended metaphor is so well done here !

Tree trunks in Misty woods

I live by increments, single
breaths of an ambient air,
marking off hours, days.

Another morning and I wake with thirst for the goodness I do not have. I walk out to the pond and all the way God has
given us such beautiful lessons. Oh Lord,
I was never a quick scholar… grant me, in your mercy,
a little more time.

What does the rainforest remember
of an earth that was empty and formless,
now with its canopies of stringing moss
and slanted sunlight sneaking through
the green wrappings of every tree?

Before I even open my eyes, the warmth
is already dissolving into
the sheets, and in the space
next to me, she who was just there
is gone.
The soft hairs on my skin lift and remember.
My body shivers. With my hand
I hold my other hand.

Even after so much time
You awaken such wild
longing
I’m rabid in my skin 
I want to take it off
Melt like a clock in a Dali painting 

I become primeval 
My elemental wanting screams
Into the void
It is The black hole of my affection
That you hold in your fist

Can you hear me
Can you hear me 
I am calling out
from the universe of my desire 

But even the echo of it dies 
Never returns 
when it crosses that horizon too near to you

How do you say goodbye to a place that grew like a tree inside of you, whose roots and branches became intertwined with personhood and memory?

-a question I’m trying to answer in a series of essays about family, nostalgia & grief

I wait for almost dark
to jog by houses
with porch string lights

Winter has
the most outrageous
orange sky

I love to feel
my body heat
furnacing my skin

My puffs of breath
expressions
of hope

that appear then vanish
in a steady rhythm
I keep pushing
