The greatness of our nation requires the active participation of an engaged and vibrant citizenry. – Barack Obama
Magic Hour
Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase. – Martin Luther King, Jr.
When air is not breath
and water is not life
men turn into things
fair and foul
courageously perform
or hide
there is a magic
no sigil can spell
no incantation can provoke
no love can consummate.
What You Wish For
A saw against hard wood
Dust in a pile
Breathe small puffs
when you sigh
they are hurricanes
As you measure
Each line becomes a cut
Each cut becomes a scar
Each scar becomes a badge
Furniture we make
More than a bed
akimbo to our thoughts
Parallel to our desires
I hold out my hands
You want the hammer now
Pound in the nails
the saw was not enough
I wish clouds
Would fill the empty places
And raise us where our needs
Are pure
In the fragments
Of time and our loins
There lays an almost perfect truth
Of stealth and thievery.
