Doppelgänger – The Poet About the Woman
She speaks through me, she looks like me but I don’t want to know her – and if she was able to hear my voice or heed my advice there’s much I’d like to show her. But turning gently in […]

The Poet Takes Pains to Reflect
Grasping at the strings attached to everything in life – seeking out the meaning wishing that it wouldn’t hide (or that at least I knew that it existed) writing down my findings – although I first resisted The good, the […]

I Have Been Torn
I have been torn between the world and writing – writing is demanding, leaving little to the world once it has been written. But the world, moreover, continues to enrage, disappoint and sadden me, so I have surrendered at least […]
You, My Poem
How concentrate when you are here? It’s difficult for sure. And when you’ve left, still more than while you still were here. How can I write a poem with an exquisite poem by my side; what could I say that […]
