  1. Restlessness

    A Monday Monday Song

    I’ve been thinking lately about what I need.
    There’s so much wrapped up in me.
    I’m tired of being split in two.
    Has the dye been caste or can
    I melt into someone new?

    I need to simplify find some order to this mess
    but there’s no cure for my restlessness.

    The taste of my life is bittersweet
    like this wine-soaked rag they force on me.
    I’m caught between earth and sky
    I can’t connect to either.
    Eloi. Eloi. Why?

    I need to simplify find some order to this mess
    but there’s no cure for my restlessness.

    It seems I am always cleaning my temple.
    I’m always cleaning house,
    trying to throw the money hangers out . . .

  6. Storm Surge

    In the end,
    will you be faithful?
    That is question.

    When the storm has come and gone,
    when what you thought was precious has been stripped away,
    when you sleep in darkness wondering if the lights will ever come back on,
    when your life in the flash of lightning reverts back to the everyday of your sisters and brothers in the warzone,
    when your plane to those destinations is grounded by the thunder’s roar?

    Will you awake to new resolve for justice?
    Will you spend less time before the screen and more time present to loved ones and those in need of it?
    Will you leave the ground to alight among the troubled?
    Will you listen to them?

    Will the power that comes on be in you,
    through you,
    glowing out through your eyes,
    electrifying,
    filling you with a compassion so compelling
    you become a wire
    among many
    channeling
    love and peace
    to the world?

  11. The Cenotaph

    There are places in me
    where I go to mourn
    what is not there.

    An empty stone,
    a name without a body,
    a date without a doorway.

    The precious thing is buried elsewhere—
    in a house that no longer stands,
    in a field grown over strange weeds,
    in a voice I cannot quite recover,
    in the face of someone
    before disappointment taught them
    how to look away.

    I bring flowers
    to the wrong place.

    Still, I come.

    Because memory does not always know
    where the dead are buried.
    Sometimes, it only knows
    where to kneel.

    And perhaps that is what I am:
    a cenotaph of my former selves,
    a monument raised far from the grave,
    a body still walking
    with epitaphs hidden under the skin.

    Here lies the boy who believed.
    Here lies the song unsung.

    Here lies the photo with the blurred face.
    Here lies the joy that went ahead of me
    and never came back.

    But the mausoleum is empty.

    That is the terror.
    That is the mercy.

    For what is not here
    may not be wholly lost.
    What is buried far away
    may still be sending roots beneath the earth,
    their ghostly fingers stretching toward me.

    The Cenotaph Triad

    The Cenotaph

    The Roots Beneath the Stone

    The First Green Thorn

  12. What if the quietest power isn't found in moving forward?

    Sometimes it's found in returning, again and again, to familiar ground. In trusting that repetition reveals what novelty hides.

    What practice has shaped you through returning?
