Ever wonder what unfolds when you look closer? My new poem, "On the Street There's a House," is a journey from the street to a tiny wing. 🦋

Metaxu* Cleave that cuts and binds - Bob-cut categorical imperative Cloaking fragile beauty in Stogie smoke and worker slacks. Ascetic insurgent Burning herself on campfires; Mission-eager poor shot – too Nearsighted to be safe around Guns, but Keen-sighted enough to grasp the Connecting distance that Begets our wretched lot. Fallen bodies, Corrupted souls: Blind walls that keep a Captive World - a Captive God - Apart and in Touch. Perforce unholy Perforce disgraced – to be Created at all, We must become what God is not. ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2026 * Greek: μεταξύ, literally “between” – a concept originating in Platonic thought, embodied here in the life and work of French philosopher and mystic, Simone Weil (1909-1943)

POEM 325: "my robe gives off sparks" by Jeannie Prinsen (@jeannieprinsen.bsky.social)
"don’t we all grope in the dark for a wink
of light, however dry and cold, for a soft
place to touch"

New poem: Quod Non Dicitur
Hidden love.
Silent struggle.
The cost of not speaking.
And the question of whether it is better to be open.

Pustinya Desert sacrament Affronts with its Bleak honesty, the Horror it prompts. Joyful at our Futility amid Beyond-worded Perils, it Cuts to the bone, Strips to gaunt, Naked intent. Mind denuded, Carnal as the Body unclad - Open to the Hazards of this Rugged land - Desert sacrament Asks that we stay Present, fit to Grasp ourselves only Insofar as we can Grasp the One. In such Blank fellness, We are hard, upright Splinter of Query. ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2026 Pustinya (Russian, Slavic) – “Desert”, “Wilderness”, “Wasteland”, denoting spiritual retreat etc.

Non Finito I - Les Taches et les Touches Peaches so real They cease to be Edible - Indestructible in their Thingness, Ineluctable in their Hereness. Hours spent Studying brushstrokes; Fruit outstared until it Decays into abstract Mosaics of light - Vision Splintered into Hued rudiments. Quilted streaks of paint - Les taches et les touches* - Patch-daub panoply of Hint and sense probed into a Suggestive nexus of Line and edge: Forms brittle but Scrutable; Forms Fastidious in their Ambiguity. Photon truth Eyeballed as Scant-adequate Clue for Unravelling by Brains so Calibrated that Reality fails to Resolve on its Own. ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2026 *Refers to the fundamental duality or tension in the novel approach to painting devised by Cézanne and Pissarro.

Arching back, She draws her bow Setting aim on a grand adventure Our new frontier And we hinge our hopes on Her Our Goddess most divine, wild The arrow anchors and we are pulled into magnificent orbit Waves and waves of wonder and devotion Can you see Her? Her lovely silhouette staring at us Smiling as She entices us deeper and deeper into the cosmos further and further into the future Some say there’s a man on the moon But I can see Her Can you?

POEM 323: "Shotgun Diagram" by Brendan Byrne

nothing, although it could have been anything,
the frame only holding your body and the gun’s
hot steel"

I will hide your shadow in the
shape of words I haven't found yet
maybe a glib cliché or pretty paradox tripping off my tongue
still more tender than I'd like to admit
but lighter than the way I loved you
easier to carry

death song
learned though its thousand years."
