But Just Where Is God

(Musings of a poet with huge doubts and a fragile faith)

Caregivers Among Us

To receive care
that best meets your needs,
and also,
by the way,
everyone else's too,
we look first
to where and when we have given such care
since our original longest reborn journey
down Mom's birth canal,
prepared just in time for our...

Hope For Respect

My thought for this day,
although still early,
is respect for hope.

Respect for our interdependence
and respect for our challenging differences,
important, yet hopefully not as powerful
as our interdependent love for healthy life.

Yesterday
I noticed a brown cardboard box
in the...

Monofilamania

It is so hard to let go of love,
lovingly.

It sharks, 
unpeels more gut more quickly
than reel or reeler ever lost
in all those years of lazy inches
in and out:
casting,
winding in and playing out,
hardly fishing, rarely catching
anything
from...

Surviving Your Own Life

My father and I did not share all that much,
More like passing a truck on the road
Parent’s squabbles I overheard offered me clues
And at times I caught glimpse of his load.

His freight always sealed with...

You Without Your Breeze

Wounded you
with your warm breezy breath
reflecting on EarthMother's trees.

Relationships,
even between breezes and trees,
are always political,
include a power play exchange
to influence bodies or minds,
with a preference for both

total windblown captivity
including economic transactions,
nutrition-toxin variables
positive/negative relational
searching consilient co-investment...

I Felt the Earth

I Felt the Earth

There in the valley reaching for the sun
Our younger days were such fun
Though the struggle to be
Was so much for me?

The valley walls were so tall
That I would fear they would fall
Then...

The Invention of Zero

Zero.
By which nothing is divided.
No zero
no negative
no opposite
no hope
no Adam, no apple, no marriage, no morning.
No mirror
no knowledge
no God, no soul, no ear lobe, no Iliad, no Odyssey.
No universe
no black hole
no zodiac
no hero
no mission, no...

I Am a Tree

Things were not going anything close to my way that day.  So, I decided
to take a walk through a lovely park among the green grass and trees.

Crawling Toward My Grave

I'm barely crawling toward my grave
And lucky to have come this far! 
A life lived mostly not a knave, 
Or specimen in someone's jar.

It's not so easy to stay clear
Of folks who'd label us at...

And swore we were never going to die 
Dancing happily across life's green fields

Please Lord

They know not what they're doing
Unaware of rushing pain
Impact dealt as a heavy shrouding
Feeling every shifting strain

Grandeur is placed upon them
Surrender to meager me
Built up, give what I am
Liberated to fall and vanish where it...

Not once not twice but many times,
And then you find a man,
A man you think is the right one for you,
A man you think can keep you happy...

The United States

We call ourselves the United States of America but that name seems a bit short-sighted
Yes, it’s true, we are made up of 50 states…but we are anything but united.

It seems we can’t agree on anything...
