Finished working on a new chapbook draft as I continue editing what I hope will be a full length collection. Here are some poems from the new project.
prologue
i
am
a
leaf
in
the
wind
no
less
fearful
no
less
exuberant
VI (with eyes closed)
eyes closed.
there, in the world around you
a leaf floating
caught in deep currents.
willfully entangled
with opportunity in every push
from the unseen. you
break, again, the surface
and see.
IX (today)
there are those days
when I am a pillar,
a column; a statue.
unmovable.
and others when i
am simply lost to the wind.
perhaps today is
one of those days
where the most solid
thing about me is my
ability to be moved
by the breeze.
