Every poet is a juggler
of words, tossing
intangibles into the air
with a silent sweep
of sound, dissonance and rhyme
At times, the paper's jagged edge
tears the heart; each
word spinning, a stanza drop,
before the headspace performer
reconsiders, edits, restarts

#ds106 (perseverance poem)
Poets hide
In clear site
Gathering up notes
In order to write
To wonder where
The world tilts
And how best to
Set it right
for #ds106
Where water goes,
so we go, too,
we flow from sky
to mountain
to rivulet through
this twisting,
winding landscape
of home and stone;
You, leading me;
Me, chasing you
- inspired by the travels of rain off Mount Greylock, Massachusetts
for #ds106
Of stale crumbs
and nimble bones,
these stories we leave
in dirt and dust,
the zany crazy echoes of
endless rust;
in the end, every poem
sits alone

34
is semiprime, the ninth in its line,
four divisors as its heart,
with its familiar neighbors on
either side 33 35 while
3434,
that that’s not not prime prime,
it’s not not ready for its moment,
for its only an even even
composite composite
dot dot on the

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?
