Ode to Anu.

Sometimes life throws you a rock,

wakes you up and shakes you by the bones.

(That's on a good day.)

Sometimes your path happens upon a force

that makes you take a pause,

spin around and marvel.

I met just such a woman yesterday evening;

truly an inspiration.

She runs like a beast.

She writes like a goddess.

I present you, Anu...

life, in ANY cAse.

today i feel like a Capital letter.

tall and upper case.

an invincible scribble, i am.

my thoughts punctuate

like dotted i's

my heart beats

in typewriter key.

and i wonder...

who left the CAPSLOCK on

last night?

A penny for my thoughts.

Time quivers.
A diaphanous thing.
Tied around memories
Both future and past.

These moments,
They are meant to be shared.
These words,
Exchanged.

Life is a digression.
And its story,
The inevitable trace
It leaves behind.

Amen.
