Some Days
When fog settles under cedars and all you remember is moonlight through clouds, on those days when the fire pops you awake and the cat steals your rocking chair, just then you smile for the joy of remembered laughter and friends.

Richard Blanco to Read at Obama’s Second Inauguration
A performance space
We walk up the cold cement steps past the ten foot water level stained by Sandy to the second floor: A renovated space of artists studios in Redhook with the Statue of Liberty across the waters to visit Flannon’s studio.
At the south end of the building next to a recording studio was this performance space. It made me long for an audience and my pages of poetry left at home.
On February 17th at 7 PM, I will read two poems at SpeakEasy 10 at the Amadeus Project in Bellingham, Washington, on the opposite coast. More details to come.
Words and worlds of wonder….
