A Mood

8/17/2023

Genessee River, Rochester, NY before coffee — below, outside Copenhagen, Denmark “The body language of birds”

Brilliantly cheering

The Roof of The Collective, San Francisco, CA, 2011 — not sleeping and smoking a cigarette — most likely drunk at the time

The shadow is bigger on the outside
Con/Jur/d, 8/17/2023

Given we are tasked with
dropping our fear of failure
and our fear of success

Given we no longer fear 
the moon, the sun or the 
vast loneliness of shadows

Given we can still smile
still cry, still breathe, even 
as we orientate to ending

Given we say too much
hide what’s in front of us
in a veiling fog of thoughts

What then is left to do?

Much love,
