Aleppo, Pennsylvania
Neighborhood is
Near three rivers
Reminding us that
Syria, native or
Immigrant (like the
Rest of ours), has
Been America for
A long, long time

I prefer Christopher in conversation. In writing, I use C L Couch because it’s a genderless form of my name and, frankly, easier—I have severe writer’s cramp. I mean to be a poet writing spiritual and occasional verse. The photographs used permanently here—for the banner, for my profile—were taken by Debra Danielson, a photographer and friend. You may enjoy more of her work at debra.danielson.org. If you would credit me when quoting my work, I'd be thankful. As I am thankful for your presence here.

oh wow. yes. that is true. if the theory that continents are from one Pangaea, we surely belong to one nation until the land drifted apart. this is one deep and wise piece, brother!

You’re so right, sister! The land that moves was once one place. People move around, too, though we are one.

Yes! I think people really like moving. 🙂
