Imagination engenders 

the unseen.

 

It overwrites 

make believe

 

on to the surface

of indifference.

A WHOLE SELF

It’s not how the story goes…

Merge rivers, cross feet

Break all the laws

Shake amnesia loose from its wide skirt

Weave the wordless

Through the bowing and the humming

Into Soul’s nerve

There's not one body in motion
There are many in the one that's moving
Cradle them all with love and prayer

...but how it ends.

THE HOOP WE JUMP THROUGH

Circumstance

has no circumference.

The curving line

is only in the mind.

There is always 

room to spare.

So long as we use

kindness as our compass.

HERO

     remembering George Marchi

Soldiers in uniform.

Taps at mid-day.

A flag unfurled

is folded back

into itself again.

All for you.

Just a bit more theater

for a man whose life

and the world 

was his stage.
