rarely at peace with contradiction
desperately seeking connection
little grown man-boy
unparented and unwounded
silently screaming
worlds of wonder flying high
timidly adventurous
boundless compartments
hidden in plain sight, the truth, my truth
a public secret
an amalgam of blank photographs
colored by memory and feeling
a cartoon book of stilted, graceful movement
openly shuttered
a well of shallow proportions
a known evil guiding, passport to the world
…and an unknown and untried soldier at the door
time to hold tight and let go
be one and many
the drop becomes the ocean and the ocean becomes the drop
Just catching up on some of your posts now as I’ve been busy for the last couple of weeks. I really love this poetry, seamless contradictions. When reading what you write it really amazes me how much I identify with your spirit. I am just really glad right now that we have gotten back in touch.

Me too. I don’t know why but I’m surprised at the ease of it after so much time.
