the sun rises and caresses the books on the table and the birdhouse on the shelf,
the light slides through the window slats and paints striped patterns on everything it touches–
re-inventing the night’s shadows

Dream Variation
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
Dream Variation by Langston Hughes, from The Weary Blues published in 1926
Change
change is never easy
but always inevitable–
often necessary,
life-sustaining,
hopeful,
paramount
Another Day
the trees flowered and then stopped flowering,
the sun still rises and rains on everything–
another day after all
Love is
love is all at once very complicated,
and very simple
On a walk
on a walk,
I take a camera and shoot pink petals
and tiny buds through an old iron fence,
my mind blank,
and somnambulant
forgetting
I forget everything, and yet at the same time, I forget nothing
A morning in May
on a morning in May: tiny pellets of snow falling on tender grass and purple violets
at 5:30 am
at 5:30 am: the blue light of dawn, strong coffee and vanessa’s gaze
Excerpt
When I come across a long lost book, for example I flip to random pages and see if they have anything to tell me.
