in living our curve
as humans must do
asymmetrically
poetry functions
as tangent
touching some point
of emotion
along hypersensitive
bends of our soul
while prose
plays the secant
tying two disparate
thoughts into one
utile statement
of rational mind
Writer Lynne Sargent
Poetry Puttering by Pax & Company
Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte
"drink from the well of your self and begin again" ~charles bukowski
no dust here
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
flights of fancy from New Zealand
You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be

Sometimes it depends on the author–in your case, I read through whether it’s beyond my ken or not. How nice to reach an age, and level of security, that I can be comfortable knowing less than others.

These words that just spill from your brain are always pungent and plangent and purposeful and perfectly articulated.

I Love this, Paul – I think there’s a particular magic in blending abstract thought and empirical fact; it engages different areas of the brain, perhaps. I took a science degree, then trained as a journalist, and I enjoy bringing both sensibilities to my poetry: it’s inspiring to see someone else making a beautiful piece of art from such hard materials as geometry. Great work.
