Places I Have Called Home
Our cabin has fallen into disrepair. The light that used to crawl, green, across the kitchen in the early morning and settle in my lap like a kitten, is now tumbling over dusty floorboards…
Hidden Places
There were places we could go that early summer, at the height of the drought, that had been invisible to us earlier and were inaccessible to us later…
Step
Step by step
crack by crack,
forward and back,
I avoid the now
where you aren’t.
But I can’t
get
the rhythm
right…
Sunrise in the mountains
I want to stand on the edge of the world with you
as sunlight sparks the night–
Things I cannot touch
The moon
escaped nights ago
is slowly dragging herself back
outside my window…
My heart is a liminal place
…neither here
nor there…
…the world is falling
…but here, I am
still barefoot
on an
autumn night
the sand is cool
the moon climbs
the clouds…
Divinely Played
My heart’s
had enough
I stand in the rain
and wonder
is this all we’re for—
the universe’s long game?
Perseid
we are–
falling
stars…
Me, the moon, and the forest
Under energy of dark and silver sky:
a spell
a candle
a breath…
