Moments

there are moments

of infinite space

or exquisite beauty

Sunday morning

hummingbirds flying from every direction

a foggy morning

note: The book I am reading: such color, New and selected poems by Tracy K. Smith.

Confusion

I will be away

only for a few days

from confusion of mind and soul

riding the world’s common time

like a heart of a promise

to return consciously

one fragment at a time

like voices drifting, then silence

even ugliness 

can have a wonderful side

or imaginary digressions

of very small fulfillments 

to life’s most important things.

from my walk last week

from my walk last month while away

from my walk today

Sea of activities

in the morning

let’s swim together

lazy morning

time for something else

note: I finished reading Bewilderment by Richard Powers. Re-reading Helgoland by Carlo Rovelli. Reading for the first time Paradise by Abdulrazak Gurnah, the new Nobel Prize winner in Literature.
