Monday Meditations
This poem is from my new book, Hysterian. It first appeared in Live Encounters. This is my heart-letter to our friend, gifted musician, and generous, all-around great human, Chris Gage, and to his wife, the equally gifted musician and amazing human, Christine Albert.
​
RELEASE
In the un-earthing,
when whatever remains of us
is released from our crumbling
bodies, perhaps our sparks will
unfold wings of silver-white light
and free at last we will, for a time,
ride the grey horizon until we lift,
melt into the star-sequined dark,
until our lights are brief pin-pricks
in the velvet black and we, pure
joy. Perhaps back down here, still
heavy with earth, some will look up,
button up tight their coats of longing
and grief, quiet their hands in deep
pockets and walk on into the night.
