serve it
time after time
it loses
its inwardness
what I hear
when will I
taste
what I speak
when will I
be
will hunger
ever
empty

The story of Francis and Clare of Assisi inspires me to come to my senses in ever truer and more meaningful ways. My identity as brother colors all I meet and experience. The mystery of being draws me and gives me hope.
Into Place
to fall there
is to
inhabit trust
the slightest touch
of shelter
stirs me
to go where
room
no longer remote
becomes me
I never cease
to dream of home
a lived
place

Into Wind
never ends
I face
a restless rest
a fierce gentleness
a labyrinthine labor
to round
real
into sense
body
will
to turn into
wind
John 3:8

Waste
out to walk
before sunrise
to beat the heat
Monday
recycling trucks
collect the weekend
waste
on one of them
I glimpse
What if nothing
is considered
waste?
it wants
to play
what if
nothing
that happens
is
waste

A Cup of Cheer
a drear day
for a walk
I pass a man
his head in the cup
of his hands
his elbows anchored
on the sill
his reverie for a moment
on me
I wave
he breaks his cup
we wave
we lift
a cup of cheer

The Poem
draws
pulls
woos me
through the night
each knotted line
wants to unravel
into a cadence
a discontent with
the order of garden rows
it is grateful
for flight
in the open air
Audio:
Companion
not to know
the way
betrays me not
but
to notice
me sigh
tells me
you mean
to share
my lot
Itch
right there
right there
ahhhh
thank you
without you
there are places
I would never reach
without you
parts of me
I would never meet
Audio:
The Blue Broom
disappears
from the kitchen
they ask me
do you know
where it is
I do not
but then
I remember
I look behind the door
in the kitchen
to my delight
there it is
now to remember
that where I
am
is ever to be
where I have never
been
before
Audio:
A Wonder
a
slow
meandering
stream
am I
not a rapid
run
a wonder though
where and when
to empty
to be done
there and then
to find
I have only just
begun
