It's been a very long time since I've blogged. My apologies. Summer has a way of taking you away from things that winter has a way of returning. Like returning to the warmth of the indoors and the computer screen. I've published a poem below. Hopefully it's the first in a series.
Ganapati continues to emerge. A small group of like minded friends has gathered around the project and blankets have been purchased with donations from the recent Global Mala gathering through the Anahata Project...Thank You Amy!
Be well,

New Poem
After 5
The way this works:
I collect you with what’s left of my efficiency
Your roiling energy meets my limp
I have so little to give you.
dinner from a freezer
a quickstep through homework
a handful of pennies
perhaps a bath
I bought the shampoo with you in mind,
tangerine
to match your sunny sweetness
like a high wattage bulb, you keep the lights on in here
in this space, between the old life and our future,
we are building
a monument with scheduled blocks of time
to continually remind me who we could be.
