John Singer Sargent
I am decluttering. There is just way too much. I cannot move. I am tired.
This poet’s poems amaze me. He has gone through a very similar cancer and transplant journey. He stuns me because he has put into words an experience I can barely think about. He is helping me declutter.
These poems are helping me unlock doors of experience which I have been ignoring. I am stubborn, for sure, but it is time. I long for minimalism.
Perhaps I can open the window and the trapped furies will fly out. I have become Orestes seeking vengeance and plagued by furies.

The curtain will flutter with a fresh breeze. I can take a deep breath and I will find equanimity
