Issue: "leaves blown"
in the glade
bathed by
sun and shadow
I kneel
among ancients
breathing, breathing
you are
my wellspring,
my inheld breath
who would I be now
if we had never met
each other's eyes
a troupe
of pink fairy slippers
in forest shade
if only
we could still sway
like flowers in the wind
once a year
on the threshold
of this mountain
we ascend
beyond worldly cares
to take our place among stars

Welcome to this archive of my published poetry, photography and art. Thank you for allowing me to share my creative passions with you, and for taking the time to visit.

I unfold my origami self / and swim into a lake of fire / washing my hair in ashes / the crane-legged words / of a thousand burning poems.
