@AdairWriter@JackKornfield Thank you!! That poem is also in my new book LOCOMOTIVE CATHEDRAL from @BackwatersPress and it’s on sale now from University of Nebraska Press here https://t.co/d8FuOsJCi5
In LOCOMOTIVE CATHEDRAL @BFdeB builds a temple to the perpetual motion of transformation, the wondrous churn of change and exchange that defines companionship, marriage, and ceding our place on Earth.

It was always
an empty bottle.
We were always
the dark.
Ardor is still
random and dizzy
and someone turns
the lights on
and the room
without the bottle
keeps spinning.
