These poems came from the parts of life that do not fit neatly into an answer—love, grief, longing, the body, becoming and the sacred.
I wrote them to understand what I was carrying. I share them because sometimes one honest line can find us when explanation cannot.
Read slowly. Take what is yours. Leave the rest.
— Michael
