I choose to live
on the edges
of this timeline in the blots
and smudges bleeding from
the sides I appreciate the
conveniences of science
and commerce but I have
traded money for time realizing
too many in the rat race have
hungry teeth

This morning, as I waited at the bus stop to go meet two friends for breakfast in a small town nearby, the moon was setting in front of me and I could feel the warmth of the rising sun on my back. I felt so lucky.

demented dreams
my mother always
breaks the fourth wall
even now with so little
energy she still plays
to the crowd…
“she’s such a good
person” - she talks
about me not to me
it feels like love anyway

Today is my father's death day. My father didn't save my life but he saved my soul. I see him every time I look at how my son loves. Thanks, Daddio, for everything. #fatherslove

gains and losses
I gained ten pounds
when my sister died
I told my mother I knew
how heavy my grief was
I am pre mourning my
mother’s dementia makes
her unavailable to me
I’ve already put on more
than ten additional pounds
this makes sense because
there’s so much more to carry

you think
when righteous indignation
and thoughts and prayers
are all our country gave to
stop the genocides their
weapons enabled maybe
the current state of our
affairs is simply karma

brace for impact
everything cascades
a negative word
a secret smile
the decision to turn
left instead of right
a hurt ignored
dust unattended
yeast left too long in
a bowl on the counter
pretending while your
soul cries in a closet
being kind to yourself

do you feel me
you know those
big feelings you
have the ones you
secretly think no one
else has well they do
some like you ride on
those feelings others
clench their butt cheeks
trying with all their might
to keep them out but it’s
a fight they’ll never win

acorn warnings
chicken little was afraid
now most of us are too
the difference is we’re no
longer mistaking acorns
for the whole sky some
of us still sound alarmist
but the very fabric of our
democracy is being torn
apart thread by thread
we need awareness and
courage to fall on our heads

they do a double take
are you smiling at me
they seem to ask
do you know me
do you see me

Is it time to burrow down?
Should we hide from the current evils
arising from the rottenness in our roots?
No, this is not the time for deep sleep.
Nap if you must to gather strength
then burst into the sun to do the work
which must be done.
