I hope you can find a day When you can wake up And dance on top the sparks of chaos For no other reason, Than the striking of a mood. Not for being alive, Not for the fiction of should, And not as a matter of pity porn. The morning may be cool, The skyContinue reading “Wake up Dancing 💃”

Control
My life, the yo-yo. Always fishing for the weekend. I start each week with a plan, A good one, I’m always sure. Until it fails, until I get overwhelmed, My plan blown up and every piece flying. I am lucky, I remind myself, When shrapnel doesn’t hit my gut But, Just because my plans fracture.Continue reading “Control”
Automated Alarm
4am. Whether I hit the pillow at 9pm, Or 11pm. Circadian rhythm haywire My rhythm is fire. Burning at both ends. Purpose, goal, change as fuel. The burn is slowing, And steady. Let it burn.
