Another beloved poet has passed from the living, but leaves us this poignant reminder of how simple and fundamental what we ultimately cherish always is.

Poetry helps us to see the world better. Perhaps, suggests Denise Levertov, it may also help us to be seen.

A short poem written on waking...
I rise from sweet sleep
to write in the dark
because I must
because I burn
like something caught alight
from head to toe
and in that forge candescence
words glow

The Holidays are a difficult time for me and it was especially hard this year. But we keep writing and we keep living.

This one came to mind as I stared at myself after shaving one morning. I had been sad for a long time and could see it damaging the people around me. It's difficult when you know you're sick but can't do anything about it

It's raining this morning and I was up too late.
I think I'd like to write the poem surrounding this one some day but the rough edges on this felt like a part of the art. This was torn away from the original, not given by choice.

Anyway, here's a poem about how I miss the rural life I grew up in. I could always find some comfort in the first that I can't find in an empty parking lot

By far my most popular poem on PoetrySoup. The "brother" in question called me weak and fragile at my lowest and through it all I wondered for so long how it could be my fault, what I did to cause it.
