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

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

And so we wander into a brighter light, following a guitar line and musical thought from verse to voice to chorus to bridge to somewhere, beyond

Leaves left dormant for the long cold season
the soil beneath softens to touch, warm for a reason:
While snow and sleet and cold have come,
this blanket has done its sleeping, and change has begun

There's no way I can POET, friend, in a room full of kids knee-deep in the books, I need to stay 'til the end 'til every one of them looks ready to write a story or poem then I might find a diversion on the long journey home, and join you on POET's Day, so you won't be alone
