the small stove still glows
warming no one.

hurry, don’t be late to
the daily sleepy ceremony:

beating,
warm

I went to the doctor today:
the diagnosis was life

fill the empty spaces with
silence

the ground approaches
it’s beautiful up here

I accept that I’m groundless
that we are all
groundless

never silent, always bright
we prepare our land with care

A single tree at the bend flashes white in the wind.

please pick the apples before they fall,
and savor my sweet kiss on your tongue

biting my tongue, barely breathing
I watched a tiny body creep
across my blue denim lap

we've met the life that is forever

I miss being a child
who wonders why
the moon keeps following me

let go, and look up
this morning star rises

ripples roll out madly
like laughter in a field.

rope and anchor
all given from love

time to move together
let’s flock…

we all saw the video

The world is full of ghosts now.
ghost jobs, ghost books, ghost images…

make me whole, make me one, I say,
and
you do.
