Poetry Meetup

Join me for an easy, casual gathering of poetry. Stay for as long or as little as you can. Please, bring a poem or two that is speaking to you now.

What a relief we have in poetry. Even the difficult becomes somehow bearable. I look forward to seeing you!

Please RSVP and I’ll send you an email with the Zoom link the day before we meet.

It's midsummer night. The light is skinny;

a thin skirt of desire skims the earth.

Dogs bark at the musk of other dogs

and the urge to go wild

I am lingering at the edge

of a broken heart, striking relentlessly

against the flint of hard will.

It's coming apart.

And everyone knows it.

So do squash erupting in flowers

the color of the sun.

So does the momentum of grace

gathering allies

in the partying mob.

The heart knows everything.

I remember when there was no urge

to cut the land or each other into pieces,

when we knew how to think

in beautiful.

- Joy Harjo from ‘Emergence’
