I’m slowly but surely working my way back towards getting this site back up. Like the new look? We’ll see if it sticks. I love all this color… for now.
In the meantime, I’ve installed a nice little rotating tagline plugin, since I couldn’t decide on a tagline for this rebirth of my site. It’s only fair to let you know that the source is from a poem I wrote last summer—yes, another @#$%ing poem—using sapphic stanzas for the first two, and then inverting the metrical pattern for the third and fourth stanzas. It’s one of my more personal poems. I figured it’d be a nice place to start, now that I’ve come clean. ♥
“The lost river.”
for Jeffrey—ata’tocha’he’
It’s on that swirl of stones along the bank of
the river where I stand, not sure where to put
down my little boat, the one that holds all of
my best intentions,
for I know it will meet the indecision
of currents, with one circuit leading to the
here before me and the other to the now
known within the mind.
There’s no veil here to
separate my wishes from obligations,
my resolve from resignation, for the world,
as I see it, in this here, in this now, is
a reflection of
everything within projected outside, and
everything outside is prismatic against
the definitions I’ve created within.
