I left you standing By the house Where I took your clothes And made sure They burned Letting my own Fall ragged Until their seams Tattered And frayed Lost In a failed American Gothic Grounded somewhere On a planet Far, far away

Opus – August 17, 2022
The little fragments of moments When a thought creeps in Is usually when it hits the hardest. On levels you’ll never understand But you could… If maybe, you opened your mind But we’ve been through this a thousand other times And yet, you decide to put me in my place Where I’ve always stayed But … Continue reading Opus – August 17, 2022
Talking to you…7/27/22
Credit: James Webb Space Telescope Hello, after a long pause…I haven’t quit writing. I just needed a break for a bit. A project is brewing (it seems like it’s on the other side of the world), and has been my focus as of late. I hope the two worlds collide someday, but I’m just not … Continue reading Talking to you…7/27/22
Verklempt – June 6, 2022
Writing is hard right now I don’t want to share my feelings And gosh, my thoughts I don’t know why it’s so hard sometimes And so easy others I feel this invisible barricade Or it flows so freely All I know is The difference Feels the same in my gut
A Ponder – May 5, 2022
Is it the mind that wanders Or life that moves…
Talking to you…Rabbit Hole 5/2/22
I was sitting here, in my partially comfy hospital recliner. Half awake and half in a drugged out Benadryl stupor when a woman’s voice came over the loud speaker for the whole hospital to hear. It sounded very scripted and “robot-esque”. Can you hear it? “FIRST RESPONDERS - MEDICAL EMERGENCY - CLINIC - FIRST FLOOR … Continue reading Talking to you…Rabbit Hole 5/2/22
Smile – April 22, 2022
I lay in bed In the twilight Before one is fully awake That is when I seem to remember my dreams I told you some things Some things About numbers And you seemed to take me seriously But I haven’t heard from you since And you had nothing more to say Your smile was pretty … Continue reading Smile – April 22, 2022
RunAway – April 20, 2022
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
