Branch-Off
Try to love a person
The way you love
A tree
With their current version
A branch-off,
Potentially
Love is no recursion,

No trajectory

dull roar of the
world reaches
murderous crescendo
in my body,
its long knives piercing,
I take my wounded self
along bush paths
folding into nature,
just for my soul"

For two trees, for Faeries, for Light;
Fill up water bottles and charge devices. ...

Instead of a late afternoon
Hot tea,
Would you accept an "I love you"
From me?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!
My editor's copy of What We Hold On To *finally* arrived this morning. Nick got his week before last, I think, but we went like 10 days without mail here (snow).
The paperback will be available for purchase within about a day. I'll post a link when ready! #poetry #booksky

The silence after storm
is never clean—
it hums with echoes,
splinters of a voice
you did not choose.
You walk through it barefoot,
collecting pieces,
sometimes cutting yourself
on memories that refuse
to dull.

#Cat
Don't be like a frightened cat
Who shows up when there are no guests
Remain the mouse, for I'm the cat
Remember, mice are hard to get
But if you're human, here and now
Let your cat her love avow
Cats are unpredictable,
Unlike this love - meow, meow
Don't be like a frightened cat

"Macrocosm a mess?
I micro-dose my close community of loved ones.
Distressed for too long, I shut out the shouting, hole up,
then scribble and post old-fashioned snail-mail.
I grow calm through the writing."

To cautiously look back
But you were my healing journey
A challenge, gift, and task
Silence can be peaceful
A surface, still and vast
In a place where it's no issue
If silence love outlasts
