four divisors as its heart,
with its familiar neighbors on
either side 33 35 while

that that’s not not prime prime,
it’s not not ready for its moment,
for its only an even even

Invisibly Lifted
No one sees
the strings
the stars
the pull of gravity
that anchors us
to places where we are
No one sees
the words
the poems
the reaching out
connecting us
all the way towards home

Intro/Spective
An appreciative audience
watches, spectates, wanders in,
coming through the opening
in the lines of an act of open art
where the door is held ajar
by the last writer through -
as invitation, an invocation,
for the next writer: you

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
into mine
to become ours

Wonder
rises;
another day,
surprises
us, beckons
us, calls
for words;
for, in this,
we trust
the day
to fall
our way
together
again

Will You Knit Our Thoughts Together?
We knit these strands
to understand
the knots of words
inside these lines
of angled thoughts
and beautiful flight
and juxtaposed designs

This
will be
what this
will be -
what this
is – this
will be -
when poets
surface,
it will be
this
