Snatches of Memories, My 2023 Reverie
I remember you
We danced around the world
Twice, to the end of it
I’ll return soon
Swimming in the echos of orca pod symphonies
At home with apex predators
In my childhood friend’s backyard
Wrapped in her late mother's
Woven orange and green blanket
Brazilian Zouk and Kizomba Nights
Juneteenth in NOLA’s French Quarter
Heatwaves and Disco daze
Ancestral treasure hunts
Cold plunges in seas, inlets, and glacier lakes
Twirling toes up in Redwood Canopies
From the river to the sea
Marches in the streets
No justice, no peace
We will not let you rest
Until we can all rest
Naps on planes, trains, and grassy peaks
Performing under the stars
Dreaming of dragons after dark
Cradled in an ancient rainforest
A grove for my grief
Time traveling through sunset skies
The eve the full moon faced my airplane window
And in the path of totality, never once eclipsed
You soothed my soul and lit up skylines
Seattle, San Fran, Amsterdam, London
Berlin, Barcelona, Zurich, and Prague
The Mother of all cities remade me
Trogen’s largest snow in a decade
Buried the Swiss Alps and birthed me
Dancing on mountains over the Mediterranean
With strangers and new old friends
Hundreds of golden hour glows
Soft stares
We live along vanishing lines
of Transatlantic transformation
Seeing your face
Face to face
Holding your hand
Hugging your back
Holding onto hope
Until we meet again
