Something In The Way
YOU are a word that hasn’t been invented yet- An idea so grand that nothing the world has seen can compare. YOU have the warm soft eyes- often times you can catch me mid- stare YOU have foot soldiers guarding your gate- and wall built up- pray tell, tear them down before it’s too late.Continue reading “Something In The Way”
Letting It All Hang Out
She rides to treatment today with her knees drawn to her chest. She’s reading the book I started, and because she isnt the one driving she has now gotten ahead of me. The words drip off each page and fall like petals into her lap. Treatment today will be filled with questions I can hearContinue reading “Letting It All Hang Out”
All At Once
It happens too quickly for me to keep still- to hold it in my tiny hands I’m racing and pacing the cold stone floor- But my fool heart is wasted… Chasing
Tied Up
Lately my limbs have new knots Because Im tied up in your trees With branches that tangle and twist From ankle to wrist. And the song birds sleep in the palm of my hands… Their song like a prayer You cannot understand them, if you don’t care to listen There are people you meet who can level youContinue reading “Tied Up”

Light shone in shadows Noiseless sex leaves the walls shaken The sparrow flies seeking shelter from the soft pelt of rain Nobody else saw it, Just a flash of something in the eye, a glance outward… and we’re at it again. All the world is laughing at the joke we’re not telling. I can feelContinue reading “There is a reluctance”
Muscle Memory
There is a tree still standing in the Redwoods that remembers There’s a ring sitting in a trunk under old love letters, and a woolen sweater, it remembers There’s a photograph of your smile shadows cast by the setting sun in an album now covered in paper, it remembers And it’s been a while, butContinue reading “Muscle Memory”
Give up the Ghost
“When the God’s wish to punish you, they answer your prayers” she said as she stood looking into the northern sky. There is a lot to say, but for now I need to be silent, I need to answer tough questions. Am I a left or a right? When does a girl give up theContinue reading “Give up the Ghost”
