Missing – August 31, 2021
I wake up Somedays Missing her Beyond Anything That could be imagined Missing The days I learn little trinkets Of her existence Missing The delusion That keeps her perfect I will always long For someone I never knew And sometimes that is the hardest Bit of everything Missing the pride That might never have been … Continue reading Missing – August 31, 2021
Dead and Gone – August 6, 2021
Watching the tips of dead flowers Shimmy when they are told A pastel white butterfly Flittering by Putting a stamp on summer’s Sultry and dripping Days…

I am that little girl Waking up It hasn’t changed Closing my eyes It hasn’t changed Through the days So many things Creeping in And out I am that little girl Sitting and waiting Forever For You
Dreamsicle Hypocrisy – August 3, 2021
I swear I don’t Hold on To things Blinding Myself To letting Them go Never looking Over my shoulders Bounding into fields Leaving marks Picked up As I remember All I’ve lost Time and time again Things I’ve put down And smiled at Filling my belly Night after night Never enough Flying past you Always … Continue reading Dreamsicle Hypocrisy – August 3, 2021
Inside Out – July 28, 2021
A tear As a glimmer Sliding over my cheek Just for a second A slight moment A tickle Running at a pace To be felt The entire way

My state of abeyance Floats between worlds Standing tall and pretty While I choke And crawl
Singular – July 10, 2021
The inescapable longing Left Tightens in the chest and Sometimes escapes the lips Dreary Far beyond any day’s darkness Found At the end of a rural escape Bringing no solace It settles in your bones Turning you incapacitated At the most inopportune times Left all by yourself It’s a part of you now No other … Continue reading Singular – July 10, 2021
Mesmerizing – July 15, 2021
Soft And distant Full of something I am not How do they do it Smoothly Trespassing across the street Lights flying through the Empty sky Somewhere It’s fulfilling Suffocating The last bit of umpf I have Used To understand A life I do not live Because what else is the point If I cannot take … Continue reading Mesmerizing – July 15, 2021
Lineation – July 7, 2021
Etched in your mind Are memories You can’t help But see From time to time

Loot. Lines mute clouds. Tonight.
Obelus – June 22, 2021
I feel her Floating around me Dragging on my coat tale Never too far Beyond This place Waiting And loving Until the tears Turn into buckets each time I feel her warmth In early July
Hint of You – May 11, 2021
Your leg pressed up to mine A brush of your hand as you walk by The smell of you floating on the wind Eyes glimmering, a spark of love Caught from over there No words Nothing special Just the hint of you Is All I need
Hypodermic View – March 17, 2021
I hold my breath Until these temples begin to throb Floating on the surface Right in front of you
Quiescence – April 25, 2021
Afraid of an arrow That’s buzzed through my hair In fact It took some with it But I’m still here
Cyclical Midwest – March 15, 2021
The geese Gurgling crisply above Ice tapping at the window As the Snow tucks me in Just in time to cover the popping spring But still The smell is glorious When I poke my nose Out the front door It should be gone By the morrow

Stretching beyond bare branches And icicle tips Tunneling with breezes Flying down Snow winged streets Under her breath Whistling a tune Flanking sanity And trying to hold on

I don’t bring many people here, I feel safer talking to myself. I’ve provided the padded room to let go. And I’m letting go...
