now that our side 
entry/library
has been
redone,

i've put the old
red phone in 
there
and
have deemed it the
telephone room.

there's a window seat
for 
cozy conversations,

books & magazines
to leaf through

and 
really,

there's something
nice 
about having to stay in
one place,
twirling the cord in 
your hand.


it somehow makes 
even the dullest
conversations
more 
meaningful
&
romantic.

sorry for the 
absence
dear 
readers

i've either

a)
taken to my bed

or

b)
 been playing 
championship
ping-pong 
in istanbul

the peace of wild things

when despair for the world grows in me
and i wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
i go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
i come to the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. i come into the presence of still water.
and i feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. for a time
i rest in the grace of the world and i am free.
