I swallowed
the house
of God,
and lent
them all
my bones—
a temple.
Where are
they? And
who am I?
Well, it’s
often too
crowded
for me
to say.
But we’re
all here,
and poised,
and pointed
in
the same
direction.

Quiet Confidence
The calm mind knows the score,
In arguments unheld,
By quiet, evermore.
The insecure seek praise,
From every public gaze,
But the secure are wise.

snow covered bush
Late snow’s arrival:
Turbulent landing to spring,
Warmth gives, and it takes.

Piercing beauty
in perpetual
bloom—
kissing in
the moorland
grasses,
to the scent
of sea-salt winds,
of heather and
pollen drifting
in the sunshine.
Gnarled
gorse arms
intimate
among ankles—
blood
anoints
the ground.

When I’ve stood at the edge—
when I’ve plunged down,
into the chasm beneath
all experience—
descended deep enough
to lose myself
a time
or two—
become turned around,
and broken down
into nothing—
what then grows
in my place
synthesizes
my findings.

Illustration of spiders on their backs, legs curled. They've passed away, and it is very sad only!!! Fun spider fact, because I've got the character space, and I like content incepion.... When a spider dies, its legs curl toward its body because of how its hydraulic system works. Unlike other animals, spiders don’t use muscles to extend their legs—they rely on internal pressure from a body fluid called hemolymph. While they are alive, they pump this fluid to keep their legs extended, but when they die, that pressure disappears. Then, the flexor muscles pull the legs inward, creating the curled-up posture we all recognize. "The death curl." And my real life does very much include children bringing old/dying spiders to me to sit with until they pass. I don't know why or how it happened. But it means a lot to me for some reason.
I am a doula
of death—
shuffled through
a dank landscape
crowded with spirits.
I’m caught in their current,
weaving around
giant,
upturned arachnids—
limbs curled,
gasping their last breath.
There is no pretending
that I am not in mourning
on this world.

My poem called At The End of the Day. … Chirping birds greet my mornings, much to my dismay. I head to work, on another unassuming day. That’s it. I don’t really like work days, but it’s something that needs to be done. But there is one thing I like. At the end of the day, the train I’m taking back home… leads me to you once more.
I’ll be having a bone marrow biopsy in a few days, so I probably won’t post until Wednesday… or post a day earlier on Monday.

For the years I spent locked with my own mind— For all the times I could not rise, when you wished I could. For all the things that make me different from what you thought you should expect or want in this world— please know that I was always chasing the best way I knew to give you everything and anything you could need to love your life.
Wide-open lens on this one.
Take it in from every perspective you can.
Let it meet every relationship you’ve ever had—and test it.
Would it change anything?

Sat on the corner
surveying the waterfront
coffee in our hands
the sunlight caught the cobwebs

Crescent moon hangs softly in the night sky,
Two cups of coffee warm beneath its quiet light.
Your laughter lingers like a distant sigh,
And longing blooms in the silence of the night

A cobweb suspends
the morning between
two slender twigs—
dew meticulously strung
along its filaments.
Even the wind pauses,
asking leave to
traverse such patience.

How could I
wish the past
away?
How could I
say that
it was wrong?
When I wouldn’t have
anything
that I have now
without it—
exactly
as it was.

Reading the Room
Wrecking diplomatic ties,
He makes pleas that spell commands.
Missing all the shifting sands.
Autocorrect disasters,
In legal terms lies the flaws,
He signs—breaks both code and law.

A spot appears
on the horizon,
sun slowly
showering
me with
its light,
and I am
still held
gently,
in the arms
of the darkness,
that delivered me.

I have seen the sun break through to illuminate a small field for a while, and gone my way and forgotten it. But that was the pearl of great price, the one field that had treasure in it. I realise now that I must give all that I have to possess it. Life is not hurrying on to a receding future, nor hankering after an imagined past. It is the turning aside like Moses to the miracle of the lit bush, to a brightness that seemed as transitory as your youth once, but is the eternity that awaits you.
