Taken in Ireland when I walked the Tochar Phadrairg, St Patrick’s Way.

All too often
there is no marker
no way of really
knowing the direction
no handy neon sign
blazing to the curve
on the right
or maybe left, pointing
toward the road
that might get you
to that place where
you’re supposedly
going to

Thank you for the repost @crlbr.bsky.social

To Matt
Where did you go, little
brother, when you loosed
the strands
to this life? Did you
find your way
Along the edges, Angles, the sharpened
peaks holding us here? Do you still see me here
—behind the curtain of light and dark? #blueskyartshow #angles #poem #grief

@gmcwright.bsky.social thank you for the repost!

If you search among
the wild flowers, each
but stem and petals,
yet entwined become
bold and bright
my sibling foundlings
in this vast, lonely life

You will find my home,
my darling, my bed
my ever welcoming body
my kisses warming your skin
as I gather you to me
#home #blueskyartshow #poetry

Simply gorgeous

I wish
to suckle
on the very sky
where you exist, my darling!

to nurse on
summer’s promise

remember life re-births itself
at first curled
in, tightly held
before unfurling for my lips

My book, The Intimate Edges of Psychotherapy for Complex Trauma: In Tandem, was released. It is a memoir of my journey healing from trauma written with my therapist. I’d considered publishing it anonymously, but I wrote it for a reason. I hope to speak to clinicians about the importance of our work.

The guys weren’t happy that I was packing, so they took matters into their own paws.

How, in those moments,
the sky aflame with
another shiny promised day
I turn, my darling one, body
opened to possibility,
to promise

How your touch ignites
the very core of me,
burns away the clouds
separating your skin
from mine.

How my want
for you cracks
each rib one by
one—bit by bit—until nothing

can hold the skyline
up but for those milky
stones fallen

yet. My darling, would but
these very clouds bring
you to me

or have the winds
carried you away?

#blueskyartshow #skyline #poetry #poem

Siggy and Inky sleeping through #caturday

in those moments
when your fingers find
my skin—landing just
there—

my darling,
while my mouth traces
the curves
angles of
you—catching each
movement—

it is then when
the pieces of us
join one another
arching toward the sky

I completely forgot to make and post the promo for the #BlueSkyArtShow on August 16th. Better late than never!

How do I know
that path? Has that
ground gone smooth
beneath the feet
of the before—me
travelers?
Or do the boughs
heavy beneath so
many stories bend
toward the inevitable?
Or is it that your body,
my darling,
moving before me

that I might find my way?

Having a brotherly snooze

My darling,
it is in those places
not yet smoothed over—
those cracks
of imperfection, raw
and jutting—
where I catch sight
of you

And, from
jagged lines,
sharp—nearly deadly—
does the new
find light
to grow.

Sleepy brothers. I don’t know how I could make it through some of my days without these sweet boys.

This is something I wrote after a particularly difficult session. I felt it captured what practicing psychotherapy is sometimes like.
