Exalt your contours.

She walked up to me with open arms and said,
“You look like you need a hug.”
So that she did,
she gave me a hug-
and little did I know,
I needed it.

I rest better
knowing he was here
and that he’ll come back
you know how a puppy jumps
for joy at reunion with its master?
Though he is not my master,
that’s me,
waiting at the door
all senses armed
ready to explode with joy.
Wanting the moment
when he walks through the door
smiles, and hugs me
like he wants to squeeze me flat.
“Do you think about me as much as I think about you?”
He asked, loosening his hold so I could breathe.
“Probably not,” I lied.
“Savageery,” he said, chuckling.

wrapped arms around a
glittered shimmer of air
and I whispered:
"I hope it all,
turns out
okay."

Part One:
Winter Solstice on the Columbia Plateau
The desert has gone quiet
in that way only winter knows
a hush stretched thin across the basalt,
like a blanket pulled up to the chin of the earth.
Frost feathers the sagebrush,
each branch a tiny cathedral window
catching the last scraps of dusk.
The air smells of stone and sleep.
Your breath rises
a small, wandering animal
seeking shelter in the starlight.
The cold here is ancient.
It moves slowly, like a glacier remembering itself,
curling around your ankles,
tugging at the hem of your coat
as if to say:
Stay. The night is long, but it is not lonely.
Above you, the sky opens
a black bowl rimmed with fire,
Orion sharpening his belt
against the edge of the horizon.
The Milky Way spills across the dark
like someone knocked over a lantern
and let the sparks run wild.
And in this vast, frozen quiet,
a warmth finds you.
Not sudden
more like the slow bloom of embers
in a stove you thought had gone out.
It gathers behind your ribs,
spreads to your fingertips,
wraps itself around your shoulders
like a friend’s coat
offered without a word.
Here, on the longest night,
in a desert that pretends to be empty
but is full of breath and waiting,
you are held.
The earth tilts.
The stars lean in.
And you
you glow like a coal
the solstice refuses to let go.
Part Two:
Solstice Snuggle in the Sagebrush
Tonight the desert is wearing
its biggest, puffiest winter coat.
Every sagebrush has a frosty hat,
and the rocks look like they’re
tucked in for bedtime.
The air is so cold
it nibbles your nose
just a tiny nibble,
like a curious Mose
saying hello.
Your breath floats up
like a little cloud creature,
stretching and yawning
before it drifts into the stars.
If you listen close,
you can almost hear it whisper,
“Wow… the sky is HUGE tonight.”
The moon hangs low,
round as a cookie,
and the stars sparkle
like someone spilled
a whole jar of glitter
across the dark.
And right in the middle
of this big, chilly desert,
a warm feeling finds you
slow and soft,
like a cozy blanket
wrapping itself around your shoulders.
It says,
“You’re safe.
You’re glowing.
You’re part of this night, too.”
So snuggle into your coat,
wiggle your toes,
and let the longest night
give you a gentle hug.
Tomorrow,
the sun will start coming back
but tonight,
the stars are keeping watch
just for you.

ask the fish
Attract me
Pulls are nice

I. The Scientific Hug
A hug is a laboratory of love:
oxytocin released like a secret potion,
immune systems strengthened by touch,
heartbeats slowing into harmony.
The body knows what the mind forgets:
that survival is not only food and air,
but warmth pressed skin to skin.
II. The Cosmic Hug
Two galaxies collide, and stars are born.
So too when two humans embrace:
worlds merge, boundaries dissolve,
and the infinite remembers itself.
A hug is the Big Bang in miniature,
a reminder that creation began in closeness,
and continues whenever we hold each other.
III. The Philosophical Hug
Chaos reigns in headlines, in streets, in minds.
But a hug is a quiet revolution:
a refusal to let entropy win.
It is compassion embodied,
a gesture that says: I see you, I will not let you vanish.
In hugging, we affirm existence,
and in being hugged, we are affirmed.
IV. The Personal Hug
Think of the child clinging to a parent,
the friend folding into another’s shoulder,
the lover breathing into a chest.
Each hug is a vow:
You matter. You are not alone.
And in that vow, humanity survives.
V. The Eternal Hug
Beyond science, beyond philosophy, a hug is prayer.
It is the finite brushing the infinite,
the skin becoming a doorway to spirit.
Every hug is the universe practicing love,
and every embrace is eternity rehearsed.

i don't know how to feel
when im not in your presence..
when i can't hear your voice
or see your smile.
i don't know what to do with myself.

I want to feel your ribs
not to count
not to measure
but to know…
you are real.
Your heartbeat hums
like a secret
I almost can’t hold
without breaking.
I float in your chest
light enough to vanish
but heavy enough
to leave a mark.
Fingers trace shadows
that aren’t there
and I breathe the quiet
between your bones.
Hold me
or don’t
I’ll still remember
the warmth
that lives in absence.
And maybe
we are both learning
how to fill the empty spaces
without disappearing.

this verbal wishing well, appreciated,
a nut of good intentions but drives me
deeper into de-spare-ing downing detentions,
for it is only the article's genuine genius,
that elevates the human spiritus, to godlike status
no ditty this, but a wail, shriek, for
human touch is gift so greatest,
that any day passing without
either, neither but both, 'tis one
truly wasted,
a deduction on our
calculus of inited^ human intuitions,
a failure of our greatest inventions
a subtraction of our
gainful living, a purposed ecstasy
our one and only inexact
measure of measurement
that defies pedantic notions of
things of weight or volume,
but extends our own existence
sans
the armies of embrace,
the electric elected syncing,
of the shocking sharing of
closing the borders of divided spaces,
a soft contusion, a realized illusion
a de minimus of our days,
a lessening of our lessons,
a loss of earning livingness,
a nail in our coffined basket,
and here to cease without surcease,
the elemental incalculable numbered
members of our total human races,
that so tragic in a twenty four expiry,
that the bonding of affection goes
unexpressed...
offer you my armory of arms,
cleanse us both with showered kisses,
inform you thus of our emboldened connection,
voiding these lowlife separators of lineage divisors,
what matter color, gender, chosen god nomenclature,
any of this nonsensical human inventions for distancing
divested human beings from each other
tho eyes closed, and all our senses flaring,
when we confirm what we were born knowing,
there is nothing greater than the human touch
PostScript
my first and best poem of the day,
how it came to me goes unbeknownst,
but will practice what is preached
with any and all willing encountered souls,
and perhaps, come-end of day, will write,
once more, one more, re heaven on earth

i knew that i felt love when i met my bestfriend.
i knew that i felt love when i met my first pet.
i knew that i felt love when i heard my new favourite song.
i knew that i felt love when i went to my first concert.
i knew that i felt love when i met one of my favourite artists.
i knew that i felt love when i hugged my mum.
i knew that i felt love when i sat down and ate dinner with my family.
love isn't just romantic.
it can be platonic.
and sometimes
it's even more special that way.
let yourself be loved,
and love other people
and things you enjoy.

I take an icy,
Velvety peach
With bruises
From the refrigerator.
It smells
Sweet and refreshing,
Like someone hugging
In the rain.
I carefully bite off.
Bite by piece.
Sour coolness
Remains in the mouth.
Now it is a release for him.
After all, he lay alone
Among five white apples.

There comes a time when the road calls your name
This is for the ones finding their way
Some stories begin when you leave the page you knew
Some stories begin when you leave the pain you knew
As you're getting ready to step into the new
Fresh winds calling, skies a different hue
Many chapters in your life, girl, they're just startin' new
A young heart finding its way—who knew?
Wishing you moments of laughter and grace
Prayers always for you, in life’s wild race
Strength, courage, healing, and wisdom too
For a life that's radiant, meaningful, and true
Many chapters in your life, girl, they're just startin' new
A young soul on the rise—who knew?
Though we haven’t walked all roads side by side
We still cheer for you, with hearts open wide
Don’t let the past keep you in its bind
New hopes, new starts, leave no dreams behind
Many chapters in your life, girl, they're just startin' new
A young soul on the rise—who knew?
Be kind, be bold—but guard your flame
This world can smile and still play games
Not all who reach out have hearts that are true
So trust your gut—it’s always guided you
Never give up—kept faith will win the fight
Even in shadows, you carry your light
And when the weight feels heavy, or dreams feel far
Reach out—we're here, no matter where you are
Many chapters in your life, girl, they're just startin' new
A wise heart grows where the brave pursue
Let joy be your compass, let time be your guide
We believe in the fire you carry inside
Be true to yourself and hold your truth tight
Storms pass—your light will win the fight
Many chapters in your life, girl, they're just startin' new
A young soul on the rise—who knew?
May love surround you, wherever you roam
Your new place awaits, but you'll always have a home here
Chase your own sunrise, let your heart lead the way
And may hope and faith guide you each day
Many chapters in your life, girl, they're just startin' new
A young soul on the rise—who knew?

When they let you
Ugly cry
Into their new clean crisp
White shirt

I guess I just miss you.
Never once did I actually
Think that I’d have to get used to
Not seeing your face daily;
Not being able to talk about
Whatever I needed out of my system; they say
That girls take too
Many pictures but obviously it isn’t true
Because there’s not a day
That passes without me
Wishing I’d taken more of you.
I’d do anything to be
Teleported back in time, into
Your arms. And even though
The height difference between us was so
Large, you were always the one
That had the bigger piece of my heart.
I hate us having to be apart.
I bet you’re tall now. It’s been
Far too
Long since I’ve last seen
You.

You were in my arms
Now you're in distress
From all the nights you cried
Still saddened by this loneliness
I'm familiar with that state
And how it takes me down again
Down this rabbit hole of regrets
And the thoughts of what I said
So I'll make sure you never stumble
When you're running up ahead
I'll keep you in my arms
As I calmly brace your head
And if the world has turned to mayhem
And is on its final legs
I can hold you for eternity
Until you're feeling safe again
Before you're leaving me to run
Towards the sun you're convinced is red
Still searching our bluest ocean
As you're laying on its bed
So I'll do everything I can
To make sure you have some friends
Who can be there when it's rough
When your days are blue again

I feel the cozy, warm, soft and pure sheet around my back, shoulders and arms, it’s so light it’s so soft until it tightens its grip and you feel its hip.
The sheet becomes hard and cold when you feel its eyes digging into your cries.
Tight and dark when the sheets chest presses onto your *******
Suffocating and breaking when its neck feels like a whole ship wreck around my aching neck .
The river down my cheeks even if I know that it was just a wrap around me.

I am the giver of hugs,
The dispenser of caressing comfort,
The holder of those in need,
The squeezer out of pain and sorrow,
The shutter out of this world and its woe,
If only for a moment a head Upon my shoulder
Is free of sadness and sorrow,
Free of fear and frustration,
Safety resides within my embrace,
Sanctuary whence nowt can reach thee,
But right now it's the hugger
In hugging need,
That tap gushing
From a bottomless jug has
Just a hint of falter,
A tiniest reduction of pressure,
Insufficient for regard by others
But keenly felt by me,
Hints at limits being reached,
And I rail against that potential
Failure to project and protect,
So here I am,
Pouring out hugs,
While inside every sinew
Screams for someone,
Anyone in fact, to see ME,
See the pain and need,
See my faltering heart
And hope,
And step up,
Wrap me in THEIR arms,
Hold me and heal MY broken
Worn out heart a bit,
So I can hold and heal
Those many more
Still in need.

"Squeeze Please" presents as a cute word rhyme,
But its grip and depth
Is unique and sublime.
Part hug, some cuddle, but
More like a tickle...
It's fickle!!
Yet,
I sense familial love songs
When
My limbs contract to stop his wiggles-
And then,
Before he starts his giggles...
My knees squeeze...
That’s when I heard,
Without one word...
Squeeze because you love me;
Squeeze because I love you;
Squeeze because I feel protected;
Squeezing keeps we two connected.
Squeeze Please makes me feel secure.
Please squeeze... please... squeeze please me more.
Squeeze me to my happy place.
Squeezing tells me that I’m safe.
A squeeze will make me feel content
Your squeezes tend to give me strength.
Then Squeeze tight for respite and peace,
Like a weighted blanket as I sleep.
Squeeze me like a pet boa,
Squeeze because you're my own Granda.
I hear and listen when he says Squeeze Please;
That cute word rhyme really speaks to me.
(Now loosen and Squeeze Please some more.........................)

I need permission
To break through this invisible forcefield,
To give you a hug,
And make it not ******
Yet...
We both know
It not to be true.

Some of my heroes wear
a cowl or a cape,
they might wield a shield,
swing from a web
or swing a big hammer.
Some of my heroes wear
a smile in the face
of foaming anger
and throw a mean hug
that will make you stagger.
I know who I'd rather
be my first responder.
