Poems Touches of a Touched One, words, not mere words, about the artificiality of our world, about simplicity that is not simplistic, about home that exists in an unassuming way, about transience, silence, growth, still lifes, small signs, about the bucket wheel excavator of time, grand designs and our failures, about distant and close faith, strict and serene forms, about the paths that lie open, love poems.
