Flush – April 11, 2022

Talking to you…Searching for the Ladybugs 3/6/24

Dedication page: Many Greetings, Many Faces For the past year-ish, I have been sharing very sparingly what I write because, well to be honest, I think it’s crap. I am not being honest with myself, and I feel it in every word that I force out on the paper. I have recoiled a bit into … Continue reading Talking to you…Searching for the Ladybugs 3/6/24 →

Brevity – January 2, 2024

A glimpse out the glass door One leaf was up on it’s edge doing cartwheels across the frozen tundra It had a bounce to it’s step While the buttery morning light illuminated it’s glory Losing my mind in the time it took to go it’s path Laying motionless in the short winter grass Traveling with … Continue reading Brevity – January 2, 2024 →

She Breathes – July 20, 2023

A bed of pillows The light lays itself to rest on each morsel of green Tempting to jump in and be swallowed by whatever Mother Earth has to give My eyes don’t lie to my heart And my heart yearns to feel the life she breathes I look and I reach I, love you

Empty – July 14, 2023

To be tethered to someone You know loves you And realize Nobody Can ever match the intensity left behind By what you’ve lived The sense of all by yourself Lingers Your appetite raging For a connection that alludes you at every turn You spend days Sitting alone Listening to life around you And you’re living … Continue reading Empty – July 14, 2023 →

Talking to you…6/13/20

PARTS AND PIECES The Red Dodge I had to be four, because my mom picked me up from preschool that day. I remember the building: hot paper, glue, ink, and the bold scent of must. My classroom was in the basement of the town’s Parks and Rec center. Other than the smells, I only remember … Continue reading Talking to you…6/13/20 →
