Changling

I have changed because 

the day has changed 

I have changed because 

the week has changed 

I have changed because 

the month has changed 

I have changed because 

the year has changed 

I have changed because 

the decade has changed 

I have changed because 

the world has changed 

I have changed because 

my heartbeat compels me

I am changing because 

life is changing 

Liminal Space

How often do we find ourselves

caught between worlds?

In this liminal space

what do we choose to do?

Will you open your eyes 

and see the stars surrounding you-

their light beautiful and blinding.

the rain stops for a while

as the clouds grow pregnant once more

Gripping

Do your hands ever get tired

from gripping and holding on

so tightly

How the joints ache and 

the hands cramp and 

sweat greases the palms

When is enough

When do the fingers know

when to let go

Advice on Dam Building

All the meaning you have created

All that you hold in and hold back

Be ready for the time

when it will need to emerge

and God help

whoever may be there

Volumes

Between now and tomorrow

is the whole of human existence

Memories become words

Soon the page 

becomes life

and continues

volume after

Invitation

Hiding behind the fence 

I cannot be found

Come inside 

to the living room

to the kitchen

to the bedroom

no one will know

unless you want them to
