(21 July 2011)   VERSE I What backwards talk you’ve caused in me To begin this day with goodnight And to drink my coffee at midnight Because my eyes are open, dreaming Who needed love or lust or hope?

Ralph Castillo c. 1985   We have been here once too often I am quite sure you had it once But then, who knows…You lost it   And though there’s little we can do now I’d do much more, if I knew how   Can you think – maybe dream What peace on earth mightContinue reading “Who Knows”

You’re going to worry a lot. And that’s normal. But don’t worry too much. The challenges are going to be huge, bigger than you can imagine…still don’t worry too much. Fear is going to grip you hard, and often. You don’t have to worry too much about this either. You’re going to have timelines…but don’tContinue reading “Dear Past Me”

They stretched their imagination and showed their best work (they weren’t lazy folk, afterContinue reading “THE NATURE OF THINGS UNSEEN”

In some cases, such as my sister and her family, they get to return when they are old enough and wise enough to recognize that it’s the best decision at the time. When you are old enoughContinue reading “My Home”

When looking back is looking down And nothing’s as remembered One tries to hold so desperately To items only dreamed of ‘Twas once a mind worth mentioning Now, never to be known Yet bringing on, with pen and ink A story fairly told 10/6/2018

So now, in the aftermath of celebrating the greatest show of athletic talent the US has, some of the Philadelphia players have decided that they will decline the white house’s celebratory invitation.
