“Breath” is such a great metaphor for the dilemma itself. It is the involuntary act of living amid the disease of an unforgiving world.
The sub conscience continues on in an act of rebellion against the devastation of our conscious existence. It is primal, self preserving, and grounding. It is a reminder that we have our own world operating amidst the chaos, and we must attend to it.
Thank you once again for the window into your experience of life, and providing the observations that reel us back in to a single breath.
Very moving. I’m blown away by Cameron Matthews‘ artwork that’s accompanied your pieces — just an amazing gift to capture visually, the feel of your work
As always your words both sooth the sadness by naming it. and make it razor sharp in its naming of our common experience of grief

The heart emoji is not enough for this brilliant poem. These words especially hit my heart:
“Tomorrow, there will be something else
to make us forget how to swallow
without guilt.”
You have once again summed up my feelings and mood these past months (years, really), and done so with such beautifully chosen, lyrical words.
So grateful for you. Thank you for always sharing your gift.
So very beautiful. If poetry is a treasure, surely you are the crown jewel.
