I’ve known love as often as I’ve known the pace of a robin as it hops across dewy grass; as often as I’ve heard laughter from the second subway car or balcony, the best friend, teasing; as often as I’ve tasted my mom’s breaded chicken cutlets after soccer practice. On American lawns, on each grainContinue reading “. . .”

Missing You
The truth is that you’re gone, with the wind, in the ground — it’s all the same, uniting with Earth, new energy again? The truth is that my dad will never get to see his dad the same way, again. A heaven, a hell, a change from life to death has been promised to usContinue reading “Missing You”
Inventions
Think not of then, nor of what could be. Think of now. I dare you. Can you? Consider it as it floats by, untethered, tethering you. Thinking is an invention, no? of our foremothers, of species reconciling past and present into future possibility? No god nor head of state; No hidden truths, no sufferingContinue reading “Inventions”
2020
Is time part of the game? Capital in, capital out, nothing in the middle? No room for humanity, No room for boredom; No room for shame as I sit, anxious, chatting with friends, one part future, one part ashamed of the anxiety itself. Tell me why all this money matters more thanContinue reading “2020”
The Wind
Be with the wind, dear child, be with the wind because the wind will never fail you. It tells it like it is: present yet invisible until it pounds its mighty fist, roof tiles falling, refugees sprawling; the next day gentle, subtle whispers on the cheek, nature calling, mother asking for a forgiveness she does notContinue reading “The Wind”
My Gold
Because how can you read the news, my Jo? How can that shit be your day job? The day glaciers melt and people teach machines to teach other people about the same machines and sitting in my rose garden all alone can lead to murder and taking a soda without asking and running out the doorContinue reading “My Gold”
( love )
What do I want my love to be? Opening, free as one can be and she will open her arms to me, singing, praying to Earth’s wings to fly again. How bright, my love, how warm your body feels when your lips meet mine… how slowly we can meet, how gentle, how soothing. He willContinue reading “( love )”
Floating
Loneliness floating on an autumn leaf, winter turns to spring so please speak softly: we do not want to scare the buds. They may hear the truth, like a riddle read off the page and asked to solve for entry: a one-way ticket over the bridge from single to taken, a world where kisses doContinue reading “Floating”
Three Parts
I. Our hearts wide open on the sofa, in the den, we glide past memories and landscapes of lost wishes and dreams untouched– but oh, my dear, did you touch them! How far you ran! How far we traveled when home was right next door? I can only tell you so many times how muchContinue reading “Three Parts”
What do you do
when you’re tired like the world meant for you to be and you’re broke like the world meant for you to be and you’re lonely like the world meant for you to be? You get angry like Earth meant for you to be you find truth like Earth meant for to find you fightContinue reading “What do you do”
