I’m excited to be reading with the amazing Amanda Moore tomorrow at 2 pm at Gearbox Gallery on West Grand. We’ve woven together a reading about birth, childhood, adolescence, marriage and death, based on a reading I heard at the Community of Writers. I think it’s really going to be fun.
Here’s a sample poem.
Jung on Dying
Is the psyche bound to the body?
Jung thinks not.
In dreams
the psyche travels
unconstrained by matter.
As for death, the unconscious
rejects it.
Those who live as if
the rich cloth of time
were unrolling endlessly before them
are better off.
It’s not a question of belief.
We need salt, he says,
does it matter why?
Food tastes better with it.
