loving and tranzforming
into angels into ghosts
into humans and back again

we have opened our hearts
to the painful joy of being fully present
with each other

awkwardly
fearfully
uncertainly
we share hearts

dancing and singing
learning and teaching
we grow and share our courage

whether parents or politics
we challenge and expand
our understanding and analysis
of relationship or revolution

dreaming and dying
facing our fear
walking in struggle, together

with the wisdom of the great eastern sun
you have taught me about ghosts, fear,

form is emptiness
emptiness is poetry
poetry in form
poetry formed

on the page
out of the head

filled with beauty
creativity-- bursting forth

let it out
do what u need
let it out

find new forms
see new emptiness
