about me
i live by the sea and ride a bike named zoë. my favorite vegetable is fennel. i am comfortable in my own skin, which tans very nicely in the summer.
The wise are not frightened
by knowing before the happening.
They listen and do not judge.
Only fools hear the beat of their heart
and name it stranger.
Things fall apart,
The stone wall eventually crumbles.
Things pile up,
Dust gathers in corners, under beds.
Know the way of things,
You cannot hold the wall together with your hands.
You cannot blow the dust away.
Time is a cloud you are standing in
You cannot discern its nature
until it has passed you by.

Why mourn that your well is dry?
Can you not see it is raining?
Love comes up from the ground
And falls down from the sky
And both will sate your thirst.

Lying like a child
spread-eagled on the snow
on a much frozen lake
far from her home and all alone
She is making an angel
absently moving her arms and legs
(or maybe butterfly wings
either way it's perfect
and innocent and fragile)
Ignoring the growing cold on her back
the rough wind across her face,
what are these things compared
to the galaxy above her?
bright and open in blackness
vastness-
She has never seen so many stars.
But this is only the setting of the stage
she is an actor, a director
and she has come to see the dancers-
Oh there! All at once
they appear
fading into substance
in the air above her
Giant shapes dance through every colour she has ever felt
Air becomes colour becomes motion becomes emotion
and she is breathless
held insignificant in the play of the light above her.
She is laughing and crying and choking
all at once
The God-shapes dance the unfathomable
as they have for unfathomable time
and she, bright angel
brief butterfly
is ready to die
having seen and felt
the eternal.

this is a picture of a field
the sun is shining
the wind is blowing
the grass is rippling
the clouds are floating by
if you could smell this picture
it would smell of warm dirt
and pollen
you could imagine that at the edge of this field
beyond the picture
there must be a stand of trees
standing like abandoned statues
beside a sparkling stream
you could know that at any moment
a girl with soft flowing hair
(blowing and rippling)
would walk into the picture
Maybe from her farmhouse across the field
beyond the picture
and smile gently at you
And you might think her name should be Mona
cause she’s got that kind of smile
And maybe she’d pause for just a moment
(knee deep in the grass)
and smell the warm dirt
and pollen
before continuing on down to the sparkling stream
beyond the picture.
