In the midst  of the worst      he has ever known,                he sees                   perceives                   encourages. With head down      retreating      grieving,           he still manages               to lift up others. But he does more than manage. … Continue Reading

Amateur

Everything seems                switched                upside-down                backward                twisted. I am     an amateur. I am     new at this. I am     the beginner. It’s probably      not as big a deal           as it is in … Continue Reading

Translate

(I think) I am           too      in my head           today. Regardless of the medium                     or method      I can’t figure out how to                translate                     anything. I lie back      in   the       blur           … Continue Reading

Jumped

Experience      is not           on my side. I question      whether           I’m in the right spot      whether           I’m the right person                     for this. I’m excited     anxious     worried     freaked out     eager     … Continue Reading

The memories resonate                    play in my head again                                     and again. And they replay,      as the emotions                    force      their way                                       to the surface.      They … Continue Reading

Sometimes it seems like you are spaghetti-ing                                            swirling                                            talking in circles                                            reaching for a point. But I have come to … Continue Reading
