Sandcastle

New is
old again
and old
becomes new
and so
we go
this surf
lapping away
at sandcastles
most leave
I stay
making anew
this thing
of sand

Gregoire

From depths 
of past
he bubbled
finding me
a voice
even today
I could
hear familiar
bonjour poet
it’s Gregoire
swim with
me again

Absent

The absence 
of frequently
follows the
absence from
and the
absence from
only ever
follows the
absence to
it is
the verb
that hurts

ThinkingThis

It’s just 
easier this
thinking alone
for those
along thinking
alone hum
songs only
ever known
to them
until sung

Ownership

To wish
to be
is just
the start
only when
one owns
does one
manifest who
it is
that you
are meant
to be
