Dear Friends,

I have gathered a selection of my poetry from the last twenty-five years into a book called THE SEASONS. (You can preview or order the book here.)

I am grateful to everyone who has read and responded to the poems over the years. I will continue posting my new work here and in twenty-five years (or less) I will have book number two ready for you.

Warmly,

Kevin











Tree





After the storm
there is a wet morning
and all the giants are sleeping again.

If their music was not clear before
then it certainly is now
the wheels of the universe.

As one arm grasps 
another and another
love steps out onto the highway.

On the lowway a shaky morning
of forgiveness carves itself
into wooden spoons for soup.

And she finds the bones
of a bird still in flight on the ground
surrounded by stars of broken glass.

Up we sprout in wave after wave
fiery universes with weeping eyes
and uncontrollable laughter.

The breath of our vision moistened 
with dreams from the tree
allows us to dance with infinity.

The gift economy . . .
from Wiki - In anthropology and the social sciences, a gift economy is a mode of exchange where valuable goods and services are regularly given without any explicit agreement for immediate or future rewards. Ideally, voluntary and recurring gift exchange circulates and redistributes wealth throughout a community, and serves to build societal ties and obligations.
