After six years of staying off the grid, emerging with a new novel and renewed sense of literary understanding is not the easiest.

Above the city
the serpentine river;
the bridges crossed,
with loves of mine.
Lights twinkle
in shadow-waters,
I feel the touch
of hands, entwined.
Lower still,

swarm along the river’s path.
I remember
how one evening
your whisper echoed,
as if you laughed.
What would you make
of all the chang... Read more of this blog post »
