may we never be
may we never be
working at cross purposes
in the pursuit of
fulfilling universal needs –
what can we put down to pick up?

sometimes the people
sometimes the people
we need are the people we
leave out, taking for
granted availability,
access, some kind of allegiance

in between cultures
are the stuff dreams are made of –
take what you need, leave
the rest, it takes a whole bunch of
we to become all-embracing

distance magnifies
on a scale of walking
on a scale of walking
into traffic and
walking into the sea,
last night i
chose the sea,
and when i reached it,
you called me
out of the blue,
an accusatory tone
in your voice,
taking me back
to the days when
i’d arrive at my
childhood home
and not ring you up.
i was found out,
i leaned the
heaviness against you
so that i could
find a new
balance, and you
shifted so that you
could accommodate
the weight. i
wandered alongside,
instead of into,
though the sound of
the waves will always
compete with your voice

seven paces to
seven paces to
the atlantic, it comes up
to measure me and
my intent.
eventually, the
waves will rise
to chest-level, so
cold that i will
no longer have to
say the things i
need to say
because there
will be a numbness
that simply forgets
