American
A psychologist by occupation and trade, a poet by passion. I have been married for 35 years with three grown children. I live in Indiana in a fairly small town. I was born in Connecticut but grew up in Philadelphia. My father was an alcoholic. My aged mom is still there living with my brother. I play guitar, sing at Church. I am studying to be a Catholic deacon. My body is getting old but my mind still works most of the time.
O, you mountains
Fists of rock, jutting toward heaven
Your Picasso faces, so broad and strong
Pine and fir above prairie grass
Elk and moose and bear reigning superior
Such heights, such deep distances
You recalibrate for me, my size
I am lost in your immense trajectory up,up
And my breath is taken from me
With no regret
Blowing off your defiant peaks
