lakes breathing
secret night without wind
cold moon another wave by
forever we desire north
only fall dim lost

The sensation or ‘feeling’ of missing pieces. We constantly receive information from our context and/or nature. That information tells our inner being if we are out of sync, imbalanced, incomplete, unwhole, or missing something or someone.
I have read this poem many times in public. The sound and images come alive in performance, generate the effect or feeling I intended and wanted to communicate. I have begun a reading of this poem linearly from left to right, up and down, then relied on intuition and the moment to choose which path the reading would take as I read the poem several times. Yes, that was what I was after, wanted and needed to say: There is a restlessness, moodiness, spontaneity, and diaphanousness to the moment, to the feeling of missing pieces.
