2 poems from my new book: untying the web, out April 1!

new year begins

why stand on the shore

putting one tremulous toe
after another into the flowing river
    

the horses are chomping up my garden
just because it is there
and the stellar jay cheers them on
from naked branches of the cherry tree


in the darkness

if trust means anything at all
it is the healing balm
that soothes the heart
stretched to its limits
urging it
to sit quiet
with no opinion
and no contraction

at the beach

the children playing 
with the ittypostethorous, 
the slimy green ittypostethorous, 
the fiercely roaring ittypostethorus,
laughed outrageously
as it chased them into the sea cave
and out the other side 

splashing loudly and clumsily behind them
into seventeen different tide pools 
it suddenly melted then drifted 
down upon them 
as warm green rain

while all the mothers 
gathering up the beach towels 
never
saw a thing
