Solstice Notebook

Steve with Jacket over his head

Walk in much
too dark shoes in December
a finger tip owl in my heart
what has become of me?

Promise to write soon…

**

I love it whenever the poets say angels visit them.
I like untruths as much as I like stars and lingonberries.

**

Remember when you were a kid and had lots of green clothes?

**

Unruly conversations in rapidly changing weather.

**

Remembering being twenty four:

Didn’t we conduct (like John Cage) minutes, cigarettes, crows on the roof?
I should say so. I should say we carried silences like blank minerals.

**

“se faire une joie de”

I will make a joy of it:
coffee late morning
a few poems by a friend
unwearied the coo and choke of doves.

Light from the winter branches.
I will make a joy of it,
carrying words of others.
