I Am Writing More Than I Have

I Am Writing More Than I Have Ever Done. My Life Has Come Back To Me In The Most Extraordinary Way.

But I Can't And Don't Ever Want To Write Bell-yanking Confetti-tossing Hat-throwing Poems.

Poems Are A Hotline To Our Hearts, And We Forget This Emotional Power At Our Peril

Each Sudden Gust Of Light Explains Itself As Flames, But Neither They, Nor Even Bombs Redoubled On The Hills Tonight Can Quite Include Me In Their Fear.

In A Fragile Environment, We Need To Be Aware Of Ourselves As Members Of A Uniquely Powerful Species Living Among Other Species Who Are Quite As Interesting As We Are But Vulnerable To Us Because We Are Cleverer In More Destructive Ways.
