I had a wide-ranging interview/conversation with Richard Whittaker of Works and Conversations and Pavi Mehta of the Daily Good a few months back. The transcribed interview is now available on both their sites. Although the interview is the same, I share both links below so that if you're not aware of these portals, you have an opportunity to explore both.

rainbow body irises,
enfold me in
a velvet embrace.
we meet,
we touch,
we fathom.
subtle emanations
coming and going—
a melody of unwavering space.

(The name Iris originating from the Greek for Rainbow inspired this verse)

offering attention
to the everyday sacred,
to the wonder of this moment,
to these glowing buds,
dissolves
the edges of myself
into song.

gone beyond
all
topsy
turvy
absolutes,
a cowbird
stands on his head
and reminds me,
this is the way things are.

the solitary heron
moved by murmurings of earth,
begins the rythmic rituals of courtship.
a poetry
of springs' return.

how do i speak of this gaze,
intimate
and infinite,

of this earth radiant
transparent and transient
body,

this luminosity
in a peony
giving her all to the moment,

this aliveness
in the dirt,
on my gardening hands
