She Carries TUKAHOK In Her Chest

...she is matawàhkwí
of the pullaook — turkey clan
she is lenni lenape

born where marsh meets
sky’s reflection
where grass (aski) bends
to east wind (achpateuny)
and water (mbi) feeds
all it t...

THE SILENT KISS

...The quiet between us settles into light,
a hush that weighs more than any word ever spoken
Your breath leans closer as if to speak my name.
Yet nothing breaks the air, no sound is heard.

A shak...

Time Travelling

...

On such days
what holds my senses 
to the world loosens 
and all becomes a background 
blur, a kind of peripheral haze 
as seen through a rain glazed
window to that place ‘out there’. 
My ...

To start with she hesitates

...To start with she hesitates, if at best, 
Then unwinds, loosens up, forward to move
And begins to show tides like interest,
Immerses then in art of making love,
Not in any hurry to reach the cres...

Still Here

...I wake with the weight again
a shadow that speaks in my own voice,
telling me there’s no point.

But I’ve learned not to argue
with ghosts who have memorized                             
all my...

When We Shed Our Old Skin and Grow More Beautiful Than Ever

...It clung like ivy, patient, green with hunger —
wrapped itself around every beam,
crept beneath shingles,
rooted in the cellar’s damp breath.

I mistook it for the house itself —
fed it rain, f...

Lost Eunoia

...My grasp
Weakens in time 
Gravel loosens...my grip
Upon furtive blooms in my youth
Lost son

Close Enough for a Thursday

...It’s been a long time since
I’ve ventured into
this new studio of mine—
dust has settled like ashes
on the unshelved books
and the jars of brushes
still packed away in boxes
that intimidate me...

Leverage

...I am the wrench in the clockwork,
a tiny twist in the gears of a universe
too vast to notice my pinch,
yet enough to reroute the cascade—
leverage, a quiet conspiracy of small forces.

Like a c...

FINAL EMBRACE

...In shadows' grasp, a silent breath,
Life's curtain falls, the dance with death.
Through twilight's veil, a solemn waltz,
Eternal echoes, life's somber exalts.

A journey ends, the final embrace,...

Terminal at 15

...The vows were whispered in silence,
no flowers, no veil, no ceremony,
just a diagnosis sealed like a ring around my ribs.
I was 15 when they handed me a lifetime.
Not the kind you dream of.

UNSEEKING SEEKER CONTINUUM

...UNSEEKING SEEKER CONTINUUM 

The Seeker can never be 
unseeking for what is 
sought is forever seeking
stillpoint is continuum
neither end nor beginning

Pandemic Nightfall

...I hold your hand,
Look into your eyes.
I see fear there.
You don’t want to die.

I watch you breathe in.
I watch you breathe out.
My entire world is trapped in plastic.
I’m surrounded by the ...

Dreamer and the Dreamed

...

What am I to do in the dream I have spun, 
where I am both maker and made in one breath? 
No step I may take is beyond what I’ve traced, 
no voice in the dark is but echoes of mine.
