Behind the Scenes

Why go for those
who flatter and fuss
who dim you down
and smother you
with pretentiousness

Cherish the shy ones
the quiet and delicate
the unremarkable

Go find them
behind the scenes

Gaps

Poetry
made not of words
but of space
of gaps

The in-betweens
the breaks
and cracks
before and after
beyond

Poetry
not the whisper 
nor the cry
but the 
silence that
proceeds
and follows it

Bodies and Minds

What if the interaction                                          of our bodies
physics and chemistry
speak the truth
mock our words
tear them apart
shatter their meaning

Diverging languages
bodies and minds
archaic intuition
of the physical
covered by layers
of thoughts
expectations 
longings
hopes

Aren’t we
creatures
after all
