Run Away With Me – August 12, 2020

Blackened trees Flatten Against the setting of the sun Drawing in A taste Replete Swishing around Strung up puppets Dancing In the dark Tattered drums Flashy And connected Dragging their feet As everything Fades into the disappearing sky Softening through this distance We cannot see Leaving behind all else Held up High

Head In the Clouds – July 27, 2020

Your wheels roll by Popping gravel Soaking up my psyche Floating Chasing Lost fingertips Scratching the surface Never digging deeper As we all flutter by Disappearing Behind the fence Locked in inertia Induced emesis Everything splattered On a simple page Never to be seen Always there Plain as day And night And twilight Stirring, stirring... … Continue reading Head In the Clouds – July 27, 2020 →

Hypnagogic – August 8, 2020

I’ve travelled I’ve travelled all summer long I travelled between clouds And on rain drops Into the wind And the calm Frazzled by elephants Breathing all around me The silence I could never find Stomping on piano keys Cutting this tension With a jolt I’ve travelled Between pacing And soaking up the sun Things growing … Continue reading Hypnagogic – August 8, 2020 →

Walking the Moon – July 24, 2020

I see them, living I see the lives untorn Born into what we are made Twists and turns Burns and successes Filed away Fly me to the moon You’ll find me Bouncing Fleeing the sensation To disappear And no longer Stare down the throat Of the mule Pulling the cart Because I see them And … Continue reading Walking the Moon – July 24, 2020 →

Los Jóvenes – July 26, 2020

In my mind I am little But aren’t we all Holding on To the ease Of times once had Placed under the covers Lifted to heights Unseen Believing in the band Of Gypsies Exempt of Solid ground Slipping In the heat Of an unsourced sun Always believing In something unseen The distance untouched And bleeding … Continue reading Los Jóvenes – July 26, 2020 →

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 →

Broken – June 10, 2020

You’re right It all stems from my mom dying Every single moment of each day I cannot escape this fact Things stare me down My mom died This is who I am My mom died I have always been My mom died ~~~ I guess it’s fair to say I am only Just now Letting … Continue reading Broken – June 10, 2020 →

Talking to you…6/9/20

Brain blurp... I’ve been told, I’m living in the past, but I feel I’m more in the present than I have ever been. How in the world is that even possible? I am finally letting myself sit with these feelings, these emotions I’ve carried with me for oh so long, but I’m right here. It’s … Continue reading Talking to you…6/9/20 →

Forget Me Drug – June 1, 2020

I’m up, again And here go my thoughts Slipstreaming along I’d love to share them with you But we’ve been here before And for some reason Attempt after attempt I still cannot get the words To come out right I love you But there’s that part of... You mean well But when I listen Your … Continue reading Forget Me Drug – June 1, 2020 →

Let Me Stand Up – May 29, 2020

I will not burn down Your city I will not throw trash in Your street I will not yell and scream at You Or harm You I will stand up In Your moment of need I will speak with my hand on Your shoulder I will cry with You For what We have lost Are … Continue reading Let Me Stand Up – May 29, 2020 →

Into the Shadows of the Clouds – May 22, 2020

It is hard When the dark finds you And chooses Not To let you go The shadows In the clouds Are closer than you think Waiting With their wretched claws Have you ever seen them Have they touched You Melting in To who You Thought you were Reaching Scratching and biting Until there is nothing … Continue reading Into the Shadows of the Clouds – May 22, 2020 →
