I joined the co-op
made a haircut appointment
spring: I’m settling in

a slow morning walk
found my shovel in a post

fire pit
the gasoline pools in the fire pit
like dry ice in a monster movie
it calls for the match
it doesn’t always work the first time
the body needs to learn
how to open its gates
monk, poet, “conscious hermit”
I am all and none of these
face lit by a burning bridge
if a truth of so many years
can be unwritten with a cup of tea
then what else is malleable?

I released a truth
into the wide universe
a friend keeps it safe
