Sonnet 18 remained

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Or shall I seek in thee aspects of spring?
Rough tempest doth shake when uttering They,
A Wintery delight in Identity.
Sometimes too close the eyes of others peered,
And often is delight in shadow dimm'd.

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

I am only one voice,
Among the roar of people.
Who am I to elicit change?
Get up today? The same tomorrow.
Laundry and then? More tomorrow.
Why bother with the little things?
When youtube beckons,
An infinity of happy gifs?
Facebook shows me what I'm not.

Why do we reach out to the fire,
Why sear soul deep desire
Why stretch out my hand to burn
And find the fire doesn't notice?

* I wrote this in 2017*
Unprecedented
the word makes me viscerally react
That's supposed to mean I'm polarized
Or easily triggered
As if it's not a word tied to all kinds of trauma
once in a century floods
that happened back to back

Is it ever enough?
This hole keeps begging
For more to keep pouring in.
More love, more touch
More words - never enough.
A black hole swallowing.
Even sunlight gives too little.
The words that whisper;
That tiny voice inside my head.

Witches and fairies and maybe old gods
The librarian laughs, hands me some books

Try these few, these ends and these odds
And tell me which adventures you took

Bag overflowing with pages of glory
And witches with spells out in the woods
Racing home to devour each new story

No lies in shadows black
Nor storm or wine dark sea
no truths in dappled sun light
'neath the forrest trees

From your lips these lies they fall
You're the only one for me
Like honeyed drops to consume
You're reckless and care free

I am not fucking fragile
I will not fucking break
I may take a knee
May bend and bow
From all the stress and weight
But I am not fucking fragile
I do not not fucking break

Tomorrow I’m gonna force myself to my feet

I’ll wipe the mud from my face

I’ll spit blood in their eye

I’ll stand up

again

and again

and again

But today I’m gonna lay in the dirt a second longer

and despair

for what’s to come

and the people

who will fall forever

Just doing my civic duty,
Igniting a social flame.
Have you heard the latest gossip?
Have you seen the latest slain?
Let's march upon the politicians,
And burn their buildings down.

The daily grind
sometimes the daily grief
always just barely on time
the setup is brief
5:00 a.m. wake up call
lights shine in tired eyes
zombie shamble down the hall
can you feel those ties that bind
Let's go get this bread

Once upon a mid-afternoon while I wandered around the room
Among many a skein and ball of yarn forgotten upon my floor
While I wandered nearly tripping suddenly there came a dripping
As if rain drops were gently tapping, tapping along my floor

Lyrical flows
Like honey and dust
Empirical foes
Like copper and rust

Where one is an answer
The other a question
In flow like a dancer
Or stopped like a stanchion

Words roll off the tongue
Like tear drops and bile
Like the weight of the Sun
In the river denial

Hubris is the gateway
to enter a mortals soul.
Starting with the tiny steps
Of little useless goals.
Little trophies,
That say each brat is the best.

I want to get new mud on my shoes
And new scents in my nose
I want to find new roads to see
New sand squished between my toes

I want to stare up at new trees and new skies
To stand on new mountain tops
And sit beside new camp fires on my knees
I want to find new dry deserts and new seas
