You Notice Gratitude
Days tumble, each into one another, and still we may not always take time to notice, such small gestures of art — the pen, settling; inked lines, running; poems, finding their way to touch the heart

Will You Help Us Fly?
Whose wings are these that seek relief in these shifting subtle winds of shared belief?

Perhaps it takes a constellation falling, to remind us where we are
this poem expands beyond the reach; our minds shift to stars

You Glide
Glissando sliding along these edges
Squint your eyes to notice the places in the poem
where the liminal converge, the pockets where your words glide

we trust the day
to fall our way
together again

Dream skies crowd our heads with poems
migrating stories waiting for their moment;
The dark starts with a bird, a creature circling currents of continental winds

Mirrored Refraction
The way our words bend the light, the way we write deep night, where something of our song still sings inside of us — these roots burrow down
