I Think This Matters

I’m in touch with a lot of men these days.
Old friends surfacing.
Colleagues asking to meet.
New connections budding.

It’s happening enough
to notice a pattern forming.
It seems that some of us are seeking each other
without fully knowing why.

I’m in touch with a lot of men these days,
I suppose trying to figure things out,
and support each other,
to be open and sense-making a new masculinity.

It’s happening enough
to notice that, together, I think,
we are seeking an essence,
of what it is to be us, now.
