Did you know
I wanted you then
when I saw you in the light
turning the blue kaleidescope
pulled from your pocket while crossing the stream?
There is something in replicated knowledge,
the recognition, the patterned view of
translucent symmentry mirrored
between the scattered shards
of our bent lives.
It isn't as if our standard needs shaking. We
don't need to scramble. I don't want
more than I have in this moment, in
this place, this quiet chamber
of heart.
Disturbed? The words in your breast, the
chaotic sounds in summer, and the lyrics of
your unexpected timing are gifted
sufficient. Expectations. Pffft.
They're adrift too far,
too out of reach,
like Cobain's Nirvana.
Do I have a vision of us? Listen.
Strung unseen in the adjacent thicket
is one clear note accessed and sung by you.

Rated for poignant beauty, and again for Kurt:)
kurt had a big heart, and so do you
wordless I am.
more than I have in this moment"
that is regal. also love the way your poetry frames, the picture, becomes the base for it, so it is held in perspective forming into the letter R or K or something - sculpting meaning out of emptiness
love does that somehow; pain? intensifies your awareness of the beauty of life, makes you want it, turns you towards it
more than I have in this moment, in

Just beautiful, every word, all of it.
You have such depth to your writing.
rated for matters of the heart
Scattered shards of our bent lives, indeed.
Exquisite vibration from this one.
