At the time I could not comprehend– And would not until after the end– The wisdom of the choice you made: The way you left, the way you came. I’d been daily drinking from the well Of my lonely nihilistic hell, And I don’t know if I’d have ever seen That there are other ways… Continue reading Star Child

Soul Retrieval
There’s a moment in your bathroom when I feel myself become him, without even trying. I’m standing facing you, feasting my eyes on you, giggling with the kind of unbridled joy I have rarely experienced but which seems to be increasingly present in my life now, when I feel my shoulders broaden, my hips narrow,… Continue reading Soul Retrieval
Making the Bed
When morning comes, you ask me if I’d like to make the bed Not with words but with intent Your hand on the crumpled sheet Your eyes gesturing to a future moments from now When all that fabric lies smooth and placid But I don’t think I will make the bed Not today Because for… Continue reading Making the Bed

Mava sat on the broad, smooth tree trunk with… Continue reading A Place in the Forest, Part 12
Reciprocity

A Place in the Forest, Part XI
“I think I knew,” Ivan said slowly. “Back then I mean. I knew but I didn’t want to know.” “When we showed you Pey,” Mava replied knowingly, then added with a hint of reproach, “You didn’t like it.” The two of them were sitting a little way downstream from the clearing, beyond the fern grove,… Continue reading A Place in the Forest, Part XI

We Are
I wrote and recorded this poem at an extremely magical time and place in my life. Do you feel it as you listen?
