We have so much Power. Thank you to Oddball Magazine and the Oddball Foundation for allowing this virtual space back in 2020. The topics we freestyled on were Time and Virtual v. Physical Presence. My Peaces are below. Communication is a balm.

 

May you always speak and hear Core.
Time
With You
I’ve seen too much
Not enough
With you
I’ve done it all
I can’t do it all. Even with you.
You’re a trickster
A Gifter
A Taker
A Receiver
A Memory Maker
A Heart Breaker
Imagine wanting more of a bad thing.
Only YOU can make that happen.
With more time, I can change the lie.
You make miracles happen.
You allow the unexpected.
Time.

 

Peace 2:
I can still love you
Even though I can’t smell you
Watching you eat, listening to your enjoyment
Is a favorite past time
In this new life,
Your chew is frozen by
2 seconds
of
Interrupted wi-fi
Thank Goodness for the memory of touch
My fingerprints keep traces of your cheek
I admit
I miss a Hug
I’m not in need of one
But
In many I will free the love
This admiring appreciation of heart to heart
Holds.
