The Boat, collage on vintage postcard, 2022
today, there are boats in the window today, a bird today, my body is a lost pair of slippers today, like a sliver of pineapple tomorrow, an innuendo of blank spaces tomorrow, like a ballet of hands tomorrow, on a street identical to this one i will look in your eyes and see two hungry pomegranates tomorrow is a feast for screwdrivers a time zone ravenous for order and indifference

Your poetry always seems to seek a metaphysical sense, a longing for transcendence, for the mystery that extends beyond our dreams….
