diaspora

Had the afternoon not been a remedy
I would not have known to cross 
the hour with conversation 

to wash ashore with no introduction
getting there just in time 
to miss the show

the cast of my life files into the room
discussing the best moments
as if at an after party

speak welcome in hugs, hands, eyes 
I can understand in languages
I couldn't even name

Pic: The pond at MSU Beal Gardens. It was such a brilliant day today. I walked three hours: half by myself; half with Big A.

Is this about your India journey?

ode to my summer

the tree golden in early summer                a leafy umbilicus into light                  summer weeks stall forever                   no...
