a WRITE_1
of passage

passage: from περᾰ́ω  (peráō)

to go from one side to another

to pass through, over or traverse, cross, esp. over water

(intransitive) to penetrate or pierce (of a pointed weapon)

the warm touch

of skin

onto skin


the soft touch

of skin

against skin


the searing touch

of skin

seeking skin

Each day I choose

and choose

and choose, once more


To live again

and now

and now, once more


I find I can

and must

and must, once more


Make a new choice

to live

and live, once more


Over and over

once more

live again.

One dark, rainy night

in a bright city

filled with spinning bicycle wheels


You sent me a smile

across a crushed room

of laughing, prancing, foreign souls


And I played my hand:

a whispered glance sent

of dancing, promising eyes


To set the space between

crackling with the unsaid

cloaked in courage’s bold, swift stride


And so we began

with miles and years to pass by:

you playing lead, and I tracing steps


But what will we make

of this game we play,

where care entwines with mystery?

DEATH BY AGREEMENT

some seem to have agreed a pact for passage.
tidings hard to fathom.

STRANGE WATERS

experimental forms and thoughts that seem to come from elsewhere

AS IT IS

here now: this is what we find, this is what we see, this is what finds us

TRACERY

second and third associations. words and shapes.

Where fairies dream (1024x683)_edited.jpg
Through Light Cover Image_edited.jpg

ANGRY RED SUN, PALE SHADOWED NIGHT

a second stab at a book-style tranche of writings. formed in the end not entirely how it was intended.

THROUGH LIGHT

first steps. written mostly past midnight through dawn. night muse visitations.

WHO AM I?

Strandloper, edge-dweller, being. Sometime poet.

This site began as insomnia. Soon there were enough words for a book (Through Light). A little later, another collection was almost a book (Angry Red Sun, Pale Shadowed Night). Then came snatches of someone's thoughts from somewhere (As It Is). Dark tidings have also been received (Death by Agreement).
Along the way there are words on a plane (Tracery).
