It is when snow
gathered to my ankles—
when sky’s dark pledge
of another long
night
I remember the brush
of your hand, your mouth
as we fumbled in
a hushed wood
I remember I had
hoped once, breathed
intoxication of promise—
of might have—
of what was not to be

It is there—
just as land reaches
sky, that glimpsed
moment when before
you, and after, meet.
there life begins anew
and each holiday
of before merges
into those to come
When, in that hushed light
of daybreak, you place
hand on my skin
to gentle my heaving breast.

It was in that moment
here, then gone
barely a Wisp of time
Passed by
when I Became unfurled,
opened, anew
How that gasp escaped
small, silent
as you moved in me, Oh!
my darling and
light Burst forth to spill
across my skin

fevered summer dream, how You kissed my lips
traced the lines of my skin
before suckling the life
from my breast
Only to flame out in dawn’s
mourning light
you have gone, it seems
leaving me cold, bare
Yet Autumn cloaks me
in promised rest
and another rising

All too often
there is no marker
no way of really
knowing the direction
no handy neon sign
blazing to the curve
on the right
or maybe left, pointing
toward the road
that might get you
to that place where
you’re supposedly
going to

To Matt
Where did you go, little
brother, when you loosed
the strands
to this life? Did you
find your way
Along the edges, Angles, the sharpened
peaks holding us here? Do you still see me here
—behind the curtain of light and dark? #blueskyartshow #angles #poem #grief

If you search among
the wild flowers, each
but stem and petals,
yet entwined become
bold and bright
my sibling foundlings
in this vast, lonely life
You will find my home,
my darling, my bed
my ever welcoming body
my kisses warming your skin
as I gather you to me

Simply gorgeous
I wish
to suckle
on the very sky
where you exist, my darling!
to nurse on
summer’s promise
remember life re-births itself
at first curled
in, tightly held
before unfurling for my lips

My book, The Intimate Edges of Psychotherapy for Complex Trauma: In Tandem, was released. It is a memoir of my journey healing from trauma written with my therapist. I’d considered publishing it anonymously, but I wrote it for a reason. I hope to speak to clinicians about the importance of our work.

The guys weren’t happy that I was packing, so they took matters into their own paws.

How, in those moments,
the sky aflame with
another shiny promised day
I turn, my darling one, body
opened to possibility,
to promise
How your touch ignites
the very core of me,
burns away the clouds
separating your skin
from mine.

How my want
for you cracks
each rib one by
one—bit by bit—until nothing
can hold the skyline
up but for those milky
stones fallen
yet. My darling, would but
these very clouds bring
you to me
or have the winds
carried you away?

it is then when

arching toward the sky
