Savvy Poem – Enough
Reducing parts of myself to give the world more of myself, I find, when I look down at what’s left, there’s not enough left for myself, so I step out for a while to give the other half of me time enough to remind me that I am more than and noContinue reading “Savvy Poem – Enough”
Serious Poem – The Thread
Spiralling around the loop and going down it is nothing as long as you can thread yourself out of it again and again and again – until your head pops up for The Bite!

Ecstabeing
If being okay, calm and mellow, they think, is to be well. Then, to be well, I think, is to be a well being.
