Disclaimer

The last 12 months have been the hardest of my life. The lightening quick ending of a 26 year marriage, partnership and friendship. The loss of my best friend of 30 years and the loss of other close friends. I am a poet and writer. Writing helps me move through both the joys and the fears and the pain with swifter and more useful degrees of grace and wisdom.

Right now life is challenging, so the poetry reflects that.

FYI

Be in joy, in all ways!

It is amazing how poetry helps us go through painful things..."she sat, gently holding her pain until it melted and became a portal to a world where everything was poetry."(the caption to one of my future paintings). And to quote Paul Simon "I've got my poetry to protect me.."

Poem: A Scorcher

A Scorcher I sweat Ahelgany and Monongahela scorch down my face. My lungs toil as woefully inadequate bellows enslaved in the blacksmith's forge. Air is exchanged Breathing but a memory, as the Sun continues its aggressive  interrogation. My body a blunt lethargic chisel carves out with somber devotion hot iridescent granite blocks of heat with each step I take. Pressed to my brow water and rocks fill the goblet. Precious droplets of well chilled soothing elixir resuscitate my soul. Water. More precious than Sovereigns. More intoxicating than Absynthe. Sigh.
