love song for ugly

how many times have you been informed
of this one true thing
did it happen when they shaved your head and the skin betrayed it’s blue through for the very first time
what demographic produces the pronouncement
out loud
inscrutable
and the clutching response
hot as ice
ineffable
how often are you reminded
of this one real fact
did it invade you like springtime when you tasted her salt-custard scent on your 
beloved one’s lips
what situation enforces the notion
with gusto 
unavoidable
and the bile that jumps
mustard jaundice
​unstoppable


sing me the moment. the season. the weather.
drop loose your maw and release the dangerous music.
wriggle us out of that tight dark bliss
into the dog-light of that declaration

show me the waste of your faith in belonging.

is your heart still practicing for the great recital? how long will you wait 
for redemption and beauty 
restoration
acceptance
the world to end

let me bear witness
and love you because
and not in spite of

    About me.

    I am fascinated by the ways in which we do and don't embody our selves. I do my own kind of research, and coach people to live their truest lives. I practice healing and communication arts, and I write about all these things. I am a nomad, these days living and travelling on my boat in the U.K.

    My studies have focused on whether feminism works in practice, what a healthy body does, awkwardness as a sociological event, and the myriad means for communication and their effectiveness in interpersonal and socio-political contexts.
