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

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
Audio:
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
Audio:
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
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
Audio:
Impossible
Audio:
the words
I over hear in a crowd
You are impossible.
still
whisper me
on my way
make me
remember
how
to meet
the wind
how
to be
child
how
to
be
impossible
Worth
Audio:
I am not
present
to my own
worth
though being
with you
the question
never rises
in
me
how much
am I
worth
Beech Tree
Audio:
explodes above me
a forest in itself
stretches
its imagination
as I linger
under its endless limbs
for courage to grow
older and deeper
than I alone
can ever
be
Bread
Listen:
sparrows in a row
on a bench ahead
anxious to go
I come near
but they do not flee
with the customary fear
free of dread
the distance between us
for a moment becomes
bread
