I am a father first
Everything else comes in
Behind that
I am used to being underestimated
So when he tackles me in bed
I pretend to not be so troubled
But make the wailing sounds
He relishes.
It rained at the market
And he was prepared.

Late at night in a therapists office
Does the couch exhale
Does the clock whimper
Of why did it have to keep note
Or does it all seem to let go
Of the existential crisis that is? I cannot be bothered to much I know
I do the work for the work itself.

It’s the summer
And all of the world
Opens in
The finger lakes
And we gather
As a family
Break bread
Shout out that
The Thai is actually
Quite good
Feed ice cream
When we probably
Shouldn’t
And there will be
Swimming soon
There is sun now
And we all
Rejoice

Your old mentors
Gather for dinner
And you sit in the corner
With your wife
Not wanting to disturb them
Because
You grew up
And they grew gray
And you must admit
You are still humble
And now
You approach
And they cry
With excitement
And relief

You hang a tent
In the woods
To trees
You call it
Camp SkyTent
And then it grows
You greet people
During Covid
And they are relieved
To do be in the woods
Alive
In a time
We
Thought we were all goners
Or at best
Had to admit we were scared.
The tent
A test

Come and visit me

And the sun is perfect
In this hour
And we all
Know how to play
Ball.

The place his body laid last
I built a pyre
And his body
That had been bathed
And laid with flowers
And I chanted over you
Laid you with my oldest mala
Then took you to the field
Doused with accelerant
Stuffed with paper
5 years later
ground ivy is your legacy.

You know me
A bit more
And I care stare in your eyes
And not flinch
I can look at you
And see boundless love
And you take my breath away

Always I want to give you
All I have

A word
No one wants to admit
They use
reaching out
without a care in the world squirrels paradise
treacherous high flying

and insured
The next 10 years
should be easier. Let’s pray for another hundred.

In a field, I am the absence, but perhaps the field is growing. I am not certain as to the direction of anything anymore. What is upside down? What makes sense? What does I don’t know whether to shout or ask to be heard maybe I have less to say after all.

Taken as a singular moment
It all falls apart
But take it as a whole
A life of good work
Of kindness
Of right action
And the weight of it all
Builds to something that
Will be known
Let today be another
Day of attention
Awareness and letting
The friend hear

A simple journey
With familiar souls
Trying to forget
Our past life
Is the hardest
Work
Yet just sit
And smile with the friend
Just hang out at the bbq
Find yourself left
Of center
And say:
Ahhh

In the spirit
Of
Emptiness
We take time to witness
A season emerging
The cast of light
The departure of students
And the thunder of a parade
Which celebrates our new town
Year after year I spend
In
This pose.
Aching out our new excitement.

The point
Of this democracy
Is to be
Democratic
And not be so awful.
Don’t try
To argue
This and other
Boring points
It gets tired.

I am hoping
I am gold
And not so tarnished
I would settle for silver
I used to play Winter Olympics
On the Mac
And I realized if I turned the volume down my bobsled scores
Would be faster
Sometimes I am silent for days
But I’m always a step away.

I should
Mention the peepers still come out at night
Your barn jacket was sold before Halloween
The water is still too cold in the lake to swim in
But it rushes past
Carrying all the drift wood
And our summer keeps delaying You watch the sun fall
When I sleep.

Back
Celebrate another
Year of hard work
With the woman you love
And find yourself in the
Place of rejoice
People graduate
And you let go
Of any expectations.
You just let go.

The window
To a doorway
Is never
As clear as it seems
You have to beware of that
After all
In a Viking village
Who is to assume anyone
Takes credit cards
Or can tap
Or do the Apple Pay
Anyway.

A door is someplace
Around you. Might want to
Open it. @hipstamatic.app a

It’s legit
To find your way around
A dock
And want to
Take off for the high seas
Embark on your wildest
Journeys
Fishing or not
I can’t imagine it
Any other way
So you cast off
Say aye matey
And the crew looks
At you
Like the bad luck
And cast you
Over.

The delicate process of letting yourself change
Like the tides ripping across
My side is now embellishing
More war stories
I can’t make out the light
Through the fog
Is there a journey you’re finding to be on the outside of yourself?

The power of a pose
What is held
Gets taken away
Poof goes Kali
With a snear
I want to find
Time
To practice all
That I need to do
For balance and I’m always
Running a few days behind
And a dollar short
I guess
You
Could say it has been a hard spring.
