Stumble

Stumble

It's easy to stumble.

Miss a step, catch yourself.

Keep going without giving it a thought.

It's easy to stumble.

Stub a toe, twist an ankle.

Work through the pain that lingers.

It's easy to stumble.

Take a tumble, hit the ground.

Start recovery with the next step.

I am a poet and photographer who likes sports, jazz and art inspired by other art. I served in the U.S. Marine Corps during the early 1970's and was assigned to the Computer Sciences School in Quantico, VA. I have published a chapbook of grief poems, I Keep You with Me. My work also has appeared in publications such as Thorny Locust Magazine, core. zine,The Enigmatist, Veterans' Voices and Kansas Time + Place An Anthology of Heartland Poetry. My visual art pieces combine poetry and photographs, and have been most recently displayed at InterUrban ArtHouse, Johnson County Arts & Heritage Center, Buttonwood Art Space, and The Smalter Gallery.
