Here is his ferocity—
how it opens him like a monsoon
here is your umbrella
fling it in the rain
let the flood rearrange you

Even Though It Seems Impossible

I tell myself this is how love begins,
with a grumble. A rock in the shoe.
The flowers dead. Sleet.
This is how love begins, with taunting.
With mud on its feet. It begins
when we can’t imagine loving.
It begins when there is no light.
This is how love begins. When
we’re too exhausted to fight,
and as we slump, a door appears,
and we can’t imagine not
walking through it.

unable to hold things together
I open my hands, let everything drop
and feel how the world holds me

Beside the highway,
the willows are beginning
to find their green
and the dandelions
have begun to spell
their golden praise
across the ground.
What more did I think
I needed today?
Some proof that things
do not fall apart?
Let me surrender
to beauty, brief
as it is, the melody
that plays beneath
all other melodies.

All these days trying to turn a stone into a song, such relief, its splash in the river
Stages of Grief

We sat in the round
and rubbed our stories
like prayer beads that
we’ve kept,
but one man let
the world erode him—
so naked, so sacred
he wept.
