"I was experimenting to be the woman I wanted to be."

"I was in training to be a woman without shame.”

- Sandra Cisneros, from "Tea Dance, Provincetown, 1982", Woman Without Shame

Unbound by pain,
May we meet in the sky,
And surrender our light
Back to the cosmos.

I’d break
The bones
Of tyrant time
Just to hear
A fraction
Of your laughter
Again.

“For a Student Who Used AI to Write a Paper”

Now I let it fall back
in the grasses.
I hear you. I know
this life is hard now.
I know your days are precious
on this earth.
But what are you trying
to be free of?
The living? The miraculous
task of it?
Love is for the ones who love the work.

— Joseph Fasano

Strong systems
should be
resilient,
tolerant of
faults,
resistant to
failure.

But when they fail,
they fail with
grace,
gently,
as a falling leaf
alighting
on the ground.

I wonder sometimes
what it would mean
if strong men
should be
tolerant,
graceful,
gentle as a leaf.

There is a
Collision of
Galaxies,
Fire and gravity,
Constellations
Shifting,
A becoming
That I cannot
Subdue.

I am starting to follow a class about #scicomm and #poetry
part of it is to write some poems!
So what I will write probably won't be very good, but expect to see some of that here anyways

Always loved this line from Frank O’Hara:
“In times of crisis, we must all decide again and again whom we love.”
