Serenity Untold: The Canvas of the Blank Page
Inviting Imagination to Unveil its Masterpiece
A blank page, an empty canvas lies,
Awaiting the touch of words that rise,
A realm of possibilities, yet untold,
Where stories and dreams begin to unfold.
In its vastness, a universe is born,
Limitless potential, from dusk to dawn,
With each stroke of pen or keystroke pressed,
A symphony of thoughts, a creation blessed.
The emptiness invites imagination's flight,
A playground for ideas, pure and bright,
From the depths of mind, the words emerge,
Painting images, emotions that surge.
It holds no judgment, no prejudice or sway,
An open space, where thoughts find their way,
Free from constraints, conventions, or rules,
A sanctuary for creativity, where inspiration fuels.
A blank page whispers a silent invitation,
To weave tales and poems, a pure manifestation,
To express the depths of joy or sorrow,
To build bridges, unite, or explore tomorrow.
It beckons the dreamer, the writer's soul,
To fill its void, to make it whole,
With ink or pixels, the emptiness fades,
As words transform into vibrant cascades.
So embrace the blank page, without fear or doubt,
Let your thoughts flow, let your voice shout,
For in its emptiness lies infinite possibility,
A canvas for your dreams, a sanctuary for your authenticity.

Foot Bindings
I asked my grandmother how she knew she'd fallen in love. I am not sure I ever did love him, she said. This was before I met my husband. I was naive, a naked spring, a raw nerve of a thing. That cannot ever be me, I knew. Sadness swept in gently like a Moscow thaw. It is no simple thing, looking into a woman's vast soul and seeing its foot bindings. Now, in Italy divorced with my skin singed off, when I say I don't love him mean: I have succeeded at feeling nothing most days and it mostly works. Do you want the comfort of Nothing? Do you want Nothing, too? Be warned: you'll never be free, even when you are nothing. Here is what doesn't work: Accepting the stages of grief. Talking about it. Sitting with the feeling. Missing him—no, the person you were when you believed in death do us part. Writing poetry. That, too. When I say I don't love him I mean: I feel capsized in an endless, starved tide. What sometimes works: selective memory. You must forget ripe tomatoes and his beard and feeling perfectly sheltered in a big blue world. Forget coffee in bed, laughter watching TV, blowing out the candles on the birthday cake and the quiet all-encompassing knowledge that you are chosen. Remember only how love turned to a banal everyday survival act, a trapeze act unsure whether he will catch you, how the warmth stagnated and became sour, remember the foot bindings and remember the resentment boiling in your veins as you stick it out for the kids. Six-hour Netflix binges help, too. A man's fingers tracing your spine. Frozen pizza at 2 a.m. Random trips to the museum just to stand near things that last a while. The realization that crying won’t change anything. Seeing that life is just a dream, and refusing to participate in your own suffering. Bite your fist. Walk on eggshells around joy. When I say I don't love him, I mean he didn’t break my heart, he just stopped touching it and it forgot how to beat right.

The Lesions of Devotion
Every day I set myself down on the freshly cut lawn and strip myself bare. I take my guitar and finger the frets and pick at the strings, listening for dissonance. My life is dissonance. I twist the tuning pegs until each string sounds bright. Then I kneel, calves pointing behind me, kneecaps facing forward. All exposed to the breeze. I close my eyes and play the melody.
