Tres poemas nuevos, escribía en México. (Estoy aquí para vacaciones. It’s been a lovely mid-winter shift.) Hope these find you well, and maybe one of them sparks a little something for you, in you.

Awareness the soil
Attention the sun
Kindness the rain
The truth of our
interconnectedness
the air
Behold! Life grows!

When you have a deep question,
one that sears your heart
with its why-ness,
what you really want
is relief from the burning.
And yet, every effort
to extinguish it is a
turning away. Why do this,
when you don’t even know:
what is it?

I wasted
⠀
So much stress in
So many hours of
So much pretending I
Knew the answer and
Knew where it was going and
Knew what was what
For everyone.
⠀
¡What a chore!
⠀
What a sad misunderstanding
About power and
About people and
About my own soft,
Beating
Receptivity.
