  • Afternoon At Knossos (Poem)

    tea led us into the labyrinth

    where we followed different threads

    into complex conversations

    he is passionate about a desert

    and the burning man

    an inventor who likes to juggle ideas

    with multiple spheres in the air

    spinning them with dazzling speed

    transparent yet opaque

    he used the word magic so often

    this clearly was a need

    and somehow reminded me of a faraway friend

    who quotes with mournful mien

    the world is too much with us

    I’ve never sought magic and as for the world

    I find curiosity and kindness to be enough

  • I Heard About The Cat (Poem)

    how long have you been gone

    always

    I have never been here

    or there or anywhere

    poised on the threshold

    of forever

    curiously looking into these rooms

    knowing that for me

    the first step will be lethal

  • Glitch (Poem-Feb 13 PouncePunk Art Challenge)

    Start. Stutter. Stop. Start again. Stutter. Another stop.

    This is how we live, with bardos all around.

    We try to build bridges between all the gaps,

    Seeing them as problematic malfunctions.

    What if we relate them as opportunities instead,

    Learning to explore them and what they offer?

    We might trade considerable anxiety for a more spacious mind,

    Relaxing our many intermittent frustrations into playful curiosity.

    Breathe. Now begin.
