    where can you find space today?
    02.jpg
    ask for what you need:

the window seat
one more hug
to come back soon
that phone call answered 
synchronicity 
words on a page 
seconds
a thirty-minute nap 
loosen the lid
the snack you missed
connection
touch
to be seen
that ride
to getaway
another hour 
a refill
time to climb
a deadline extension
a selfie for the ages
re-connection
you 
(is that too much to ask?)

    walking home this misty morning, 

    the gulls circling in the grey.

    the world is still;

    unwinding, 

    slowly winding. 

     

    but the crows’ ominous cry

    echoes in the silence, 

    as they flee their entrail feast,

    something foreboding; 

    forewarning from the trees. 

     

    but still i cross and still i wander, 

    closer now than i ever was. 

    the world is still 

    and i am moving; 

    unwinding,

    winding still. 

    childhood
_________
going under
but i can’t let go
because i’m 
holding on to you

let go

holding on to you
child of mine
as life fades
and yours grows

hold on

these waves
relentless
inhale these tears
i can’t let go

i won’t let go
hold on

this child mirrored
her young face
your face
my child self

let go

you slip away
but i’m still here
breathe
breathe

hold on

going under
but i can’t let go
because i’m 
holding on to you

    ​

    i see the 

    world in black

    and white.

    these trees

    and fields

    beneath 

    winter’s heavy

    coat of 

    primer.
