"So disaffected
when you are not next to me,
all things feel like less."
when you are not next to me,
all things feel like less.”

I wonder of you, often in times like these. I wonder what you’d...
I wonder of you, often in times like these. I wonder what you’d think of this place, in this time. I wonder of your dream, of how it would grow, especially here, especially now. I wonder if you’d smile, if you’d sigh, if you’d look around with disbelief that still, after all this time, there is cause to resist, to fight on. I wonder if you’d be proud of the steps we have taken, of the progress we have made. I think your fist would raise to the sky hearing chants of Obama, I think you’d have chanted, too. I wonder of you, often, today more than all days. Thank you, though that’s thin and hollow, I say it still. Your dream is my dream is our dream and I hope you know we still dream it, we still hold it sacred and dear, we still whisper of it with reverence and courage. Hear me when I say we will try to do better, try to do more, try to lean into hatred only with love. This is your day, and I am so sorry we need it. I wish you were here, 360 some steps into your nineties, slower, softer, wrinkled, brave. Here’s to you, here’s always to you.

Wildness set me to the winds
blown like thread, like
prayer flag scattered across
breeze and over mountains,
I was rootless.
You were there when the gusts
calmed, waiting,
a collision of us
and through
the noise and scrape
I thought,
maybe you had always
been there,
patient while I wandered.
Ask the fates, if you wish,
count the numbers
and translate them as you will,
but you know as I do,
whatever direction
these new gales take,
it will flutter us off
together.

You’re in the orange clouds,
the purple beneath the glow.
You’re...
You’re in the orange clouds,
the purple beneath the glow.
You’re in the dark hills.

More than anyone
or anything,
I’ve always
believed
in the sea.
Even when it recedes,
when it’s pulled back
and away from me,
like nearly nothing else,
it keeps its promise
to always
come back.

Time, takes me time
to open up,
to spill out face
to face
what bubbles up
inside.
It’s not that trust
is slow to arrive,
it’s not that
I look with caution
or disbelief,
I just wait, and
find no interest
in saying many words
about myself.
