rise on the wave,
meet your erotic self
as a prayer
on your tongue,
like sun-drenched skin
exposed to the sea.
in your surrender,
nothing is lost—
only deepened,
only made holy.

I'm bored.
That's good!
Some of the best things
were created from boredom.
Sit with it
like an old friend.
Not for forever,
but for now.

I Carry Gratitude and
Anger Together
I’m grateful for what you gave me.
Angry that you’re gone.
Both live in me without
canceling each other out.
Grief is not neat.
Love never was.

tenacious
after all these years
the guitar
still remembers
where my hands belong
It had been a while since I last read them, but these opening pages are just … wow! #poetry #poetrysky

soon
the fields will forget
what they carried
all summer
