I’ve Noticed They run away Scatter Blow like leaves Schools of fish Disturbed By a single pebble I don’t have to speak Just an essence And run away bicycles Feet flying off peddles It is not easy To live in a land Where you flutter away
Glitter – April 13, 2022
It's the minutia of spots All around me A minefield Of pollen Falling like stars Blowing up Like dust Rolling thunder Over that hill It’s gone It’s all gone
A Blind Heart’s Silhouette – March 4, 2022
The dark light Silhouettes my arms, so I know they are there The touch that falls to the ground Walking With steps Dragging on… Past each and every moment I could have stopped And let you in Flown home to your call It ticked Past my bedtime I dreamt of you And dream of you … Continue reading A Blind Heart’s Silhouette – March 4, 2022
Talking to you…3/21/22
PARTS AND PIECES Gift Here comes the red Dodge again. Parking itself in my memories. It was a snowy day, and probably icy too. The neighborhood where our street address had a nice ring to it, 802 Park Lane. One, of two houses I remember the full street address. Same neighborhood as the baby bird, … Continue reading Talking to you…3/21/22

I’ve perfected The there But not really there And ended up somewhere In my head…
Dust Up – March 11, 2022
Lose me Behind elevator doors Around corners Or somewhere in flight ~ Swinging from vines Twisting with flowers Circling your head Dipping my toes In the red ~ Catch me Or push me away I’m not coming down I won’t play

A thousand words Might touch the surface If I could only find the right ones To start the conversation
Talking to you…2/17/22
PARTS AND PIECES No Manual, No Mother Hi mom. Wow, those words. I’ve never written them together. Now I can’t see through my eyes, darn it. I read things. And lately, I’ve happened upon a handful that make me stop, maybe shed a tear or two, but mostly just think. Think about the life I’ve … Continue reading Talking to you…2/17/22
A Thought to Think on…February 9, 2022
We all know The world destroys the meek, Anyone different, Or those who dare to speak.

A dusky yellow Covers the treetops And just like that It’s gone away In the air Hanging I couldn’t hold on
Love, Left Nowhere – December 20, 2021
https://videopress.com/v/RhG5Frx1?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&autoPlay=true&controls=false&loop=true&preloadContent=metadata Inside of this hole I fell down Watching the smooth walls Shimmer by and by Waiting to hit bottom It never comes Moving Into the clouds They pass me by Tasting like cotton candy My eyes blinking closed I feel the vibrations Of love, left nowhere The tips of my toes Reaching For something … Continue reading Love, Left Nowhere – December 20, 2021
Talking to you…Her 70th Birthday 1/25/22
This year we acknowledged my mom’s birthday. It would have been a big one - 70! We did it with food and no words, but the food was good and comfortable like her. I felt indifferent. I wasn’t sure about bringing others into this with me, but last year felt oddly insufficient and I wanted … Continue reading Talking to you…Her 70th Birthday 1/25/22

The soft blues deepen As the earth takes on Distance unfolds I can’t reach you
Inside My Room – November 17, 2021
The covers tussled and left alone The remote can be found on the floor underneath the bed, I think. I can’t reach my lamp It has been pushed too far away The blinds are mostly shut Except for a few cracks in-between the folds I can hear the toilet running Day after day It’s the … Continue reading Inside My Room – November 17, 2021
Soloism – December 30, 2021
The warm tears Swell, before they break Leaving behind A cool stream Running down my face Hiding the remnants, behind The closed door Just feet away From all of life
Pieces of Forgiveness – December 22, 2021
Traipsing Inside the inklings Of time Picked up By the wanderers Who have nothing to forgive Because forgiveness itself Seems to be letting go Or so I’ve been told Inside the glimmers of light The sun will eventually Hand over the day To the moon Seemingly scattered These dreams I’ve had A million times Wandering … Continue reading Pieces of Forgiveness – December 22, 2021

Collected Vapor – December 13, 2021
I forget sometimes How to disappear Letting go Of a lot more Than I hold Except for you I will never know How to let go Of you
Cuts Deep – November 29, 2021
I’m telling you And I know She was better than me But any mom Her heart would break If you called her by her name We worked too hard to bring you into this world For you to take us out Like that

Drowning it all out Pulling grass blades with the swipe of my nail Piled and Waiting for the wind to borrow them for awhile
