And the next you showed me what’s his is his,
Enveloping my world with your sweet smile.
The safety and comfort you provide me
Make you my steady and stalwart North... [read more] |

redbrick posted a new Poem titled clear for next message 15 weeks ago
6‑7, the chant without anchor,
a number unmoored, yet sung
like a streetlight flicker in the mind—
an earworm gnawing its own refrain.
10‑67 crackles across the static,
police code for nothing but pause,
a hinge, a breath, a clearing... [read more] |

Three Blind Mice
They ran the furrow without sight, chasing a sound they could not name.

The Cheese Stands Alone
Not chosen, not lifted from the board, it waits— a pale block in the circle of absence.
The knives have passed, the plates are cleared, yet it remains, square against the grain, refusing disguise.

Tall Poppy
It rose without counsel, a stalk among stubble, like a wedge of cheese left on the board— plain, unadorned, yet singular.
Hail struck, water swelled, drought cracked the soil, fire licked the horizon. Still it... [read more] |

I am grateful for my parents…
and this wisdom they subtly dispersed…
that behind every child who believes in themself
is a parent who believed in them first.

May we be blessed as parents…

I had to climb the ladder in our bookstore the other day
to retrieve some books off the upper shelves…
as I do from time to time….
and I was immediately enveloped by a memory
as I began to climb.

I Really Should Know Better
The pattern was plain,
woven long before my hand touched it.
Still I pressed the thread,
as if insistence could alter the loom.
I mistook repetition for chance,
called the bruise a blossom,

In the End
I carried the shape you traced,
a vessel cut to your measure,
but the grain ran otherwise—
