Sunlight: Look what the cat dragged in....

Sunlight
After a meltdown, a mental "lockdown" and 2 1/2 year walkabout through strange and exotic lands, I'm back, dancing on my own grave it seems.  I do appreciate the support and encouragement of some very dear friends that helped return me to this place (you know who you are! :-))

Hello again all you wonderful people.  Won't you be, oh won't you be, my neighbor?

Leaving Does That

Leaving does that
like the slow drip of the big guns
hurtling their payload into the darkness;
 
the tired calving of an ancient glacier
that slips its bonds and hefts its weight
into the frothy night waters; 
 
roiling the smooth surface below
of the unseen and unforeseen
leaving does that;

an irreversible commitment
surrendering the dimension of millions
in one final exhale;

the slow curve and rugged sluice
are sent forth  - as for the icy flotsam
somewhere in the far off distance
a silent shore waits to receive
 
the big guns are silent now, cooling
still remembering the shock of
sharp crack and jagged thunder
the whistling of the ballistic sear
 
somewhere in the far off distance
a silent shore waits to receive
leaving does that
