No Tell Motel

You probably already know that Reb Livingston is awesome. I'm super-stoked to have my poems at No Tell Motel this week. It's also my birthday week, which makes it extra good. xoxoxo

Nearness

I have been craving a certain type of nearness to things: poems, humans, animals. A sort of companionable nearness more than an intimacy. A nearness that I can maintain -- that will not put me in the position of disappointment. I'm not sure if I can write it. I can write that I have been feeling overwhelmed, swept under, pulled in multiple directions.

thank you
