when my words
surfacing out of
poetry define
who am I
I cry
I also
rejoice and
stand still as
if suspended
all at the same
exact
time holding
that tiny particle
of truth inside me
that shining in spite
of me
.

it comes up
as water gushing
out of a broken pipe
the flood of tears
when I sit face
to face poetry
meeting me
.

it’s an afterword
moving
this of giving poetry
a way
to talk about the beauty
lingering
unseen
sensitivity shining
bright
in our darker days
when we
think there’s little
to be seen

Luminesia is a bilingual blog where my photography students, through a work of IDENTIFICATION with my poetry, interpret the emotions rising within while reading. You can read more about this under Project on the Luminesia’s blog.The picture on the link is a poignant example of the work conducted.

not sure
if it was the metropolis
– and the jungles they hold
where we had roamed through
.
or the islands
within the same –
we felt alone among
thousands I could have
.
threaded on – not stapled
to my own thoughts of
failure focusing on
some other survival
.
the incessant sounds
attacking us louder
disorienting forcing
us on movement
,
or the far ones – in stillness
only the wind has a voice
stirring the waves to have
more and animals wild
.
eyes focusing off the horizon
squared lines confining
blocks or concentric ones
as the life rings on a tree
.
you count twenty eight then
call me out I found numbers
we had forgot – it used to be larger
green not the horrible burgundy
.
I shiver some on the island
we could hear the sound of
our own hair sitting close
animal’s life pulsing
.
