1/22
Stepping
FORWARD
remains open-ended
haunting and emotional.
2/22
there's no ready answer
MOVING
takes strength
3/22
Stranger on the train
waiting to make it happen
They respond I smile
4/22
your small hands glancing at me
friendly and discreet
illuminating
5/22
BITCH, PLEASE!
6/22
they suddenly realize
you will find yourself
9 Completed third position of the Plough,
with the knees brought in beside the ears.
7/22
sit for half an hour
in the fullest sense
force the moment to its crisis
8/22
LOOKED FABULOUS
SPINNING
For Your
Eyes Only
'Coming?'
9/22
WE DO NOT FEEL
So we compromise, and go
Where Time Moves Kindly
We have bad days
As for the future, we do, of course, want to
We're ready when you are
10/22
the messy emotions of
seeing and knowing
bones light as pipes, hollow
a white light still and moving
It isn't easy.
