There is something new in the air
A faint scent of possibility
that wafts past unexpectedly.
There is something making me
wonder about continuity
and what’s coming to be.
poem-gulf April 1, 2016
You open up before me
a gulf of possibility
things I never considered
complications I did not foresee.
You open up before me
a black hole of opportunity
devouring expectations
creating alternative realities
of what my future might be.

(“Thanks, Des,” she says
dripping with irony.)
poem-choosing March 31, 2016
Will I choose you?
Or you?
Or will I choose at all?
Am I ready for this work
of nurturing potential?
My world is wound tightly
with possibility,
fighting emotionality with
rationality.
