I don’t know why And I don’t have to. All to well the day will pass. And before long I will look back Like I looked back last night, At the years that got me here. The awe will find me again, I could be dead, I statistically SHOULD BE, But the blood is runningContinue reading “Morning is Working”

Humanity
My body still aches Even as they made it home, Even after we had a great visit, The throbbing, dizzy, overwhelming sense of loss Emanating from my core, Fingers, toes, head, Keeps me wondering now, When humanity seeped back through my being.
Leaving
It still hurts To watch a car pull away Knowing goodbye as only a months-long chasm, If luck should strike. After all these years, A childhood of summer vacations At a chaotic second home-ish. An “Aunt-ing” Amid the loss of self, the sewing together of the new with what was left to scavange. After beingContinue reading “Leaving”

The things I juggle Leave my fingers Bruised & bloody But, As long as I keep them up My neck is safe. The blocks will degrade And I will end up holding A palm full of grit A world. A world I can throw And rearrange. Change.

I hate that I sometimes have the thought, “Well, all I have to do is survive 962 more days and do my best.”Continue reading “962 More Days”
Remembering Names
I do remember where I was on this day 20 years ago. In my algebra class all we did Was watch TV And as planes ripped the sky The scars of division have only ripped wider with the years
Vacuum Power!
I live-d in a hurricane, And I am a mess maker, The combination is a Entertaining terror, And It’s sometimes impossible To remember the possibilities But I was given a weapon. And I attacked my house. “I CALL UPON THE DEVIL OF DIRT!” I compell you dirt, be gone! And veeeeruuuummmm, *poof* I am powerful
