madman in the woods

there’s a madman in the woods
with an electric saw
the denizen’s screams
echo through the canopy

I Could Just Spit

Truth to power
Power to truth
Is this a turkey neck
Or an elephant’s tooth?

It’s murky, it’s rank
How are we here?
Oh yeah, I remember,
He REALLY likes beer

Hold fast to what’s right
You know the way
Deception withers
In the glow of day

Friday, March 13, 2020-Day 1 of COVID lockdown a large tree fell in my yard narrowly avoiding damage. It was surreal and ominous and inspired this poem. It turns out the “smoke in the summer hills” this poem foretold would be a family tragedy.

Lean into the wind and let the storm shape you.

I’m no stranger to grief. These past 2 weeks are reminiscent of what I experienced in the aftermath of losing my mom and sister to DV in 2020. Here is a snap of my personal grief journey. Will apply lessons learned to this new grief journey we’re all collectively on.
