For Hayden Dansky, Erin Roberson, Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer,
Ars Nova Shared Visions Project 2024.
standing
in the circle
of you
I felt
in awe
of the moment
humbled
to be called
poet
the depth
of your words
your work
moved me to tears
each one of you
each time
touching the rings
tracing your scars
your words traced my scars
shattered love
entered into my soul
the way love is supposed to
Fresnel beacon
shined a light
straight to me
to be called
poet, beside you
Unfathomable
my
soul
expanded
in that moment
that I didn’t want to end
my soul touched eternity
