Poetic, neurodivergent bird with a profound hearing loss of >74% in both ears; navigating my way in this life of strife 🫶🍵🫶; what a contrarian humanity we can be; democracy, fairness for all; Gemini sun, Scorpio rising, Pisces moon; I fly over deep waters.
Pinned
as I sit
at the ledge of life,
with my sorrow
with my wit

I ponder
on the conundrum
of ourselves

of how the world
is somewhat a Pandora’s box
no simple answers
no easy fix

on the paradox
of it all

I ponder
on our complexities
our complications
our conflicts

and now,
our grave reckoning

Reality can be that everything
is falling apart
and then everything is fine
and then everyone hates you
and then everyone loves you;

Sometimes nothing will ever
be good again,
everything is gonna be
amazing,
you look like shit
but you are gorgeous

reality is fucked

To radiate love simply by existing is a rare and quiet mastery..

It asks for no performance, no correction of the world—
only a steady unveiling of what is already whole within.

Those who embody this presence remind others of their own forgotten light, not by teaching, but by being.

tide is turning,
behind their lies
truth is burning

cruel, is their carelessness
their intent is to suffer
the masses this winter

their faces, impassive
— greed, excessive
— demeanor, passive

their actions, deplorable
— conscience, questionable

polluted tide is turning,
we’re all burning

Beauty is not a fixed form — it’s a pulse, a flare, a moment of becoming.
Where Light Learns to Bloom — new abstract expressionist work exploring radiance, chaos, and the tenderness inside color.

Newsom: "Think about the state of mind of the VP. How do you square the circle when you go to a prayer breakfast? Old testament, new testament. What's the fundamental thing that connects John to Matthew to Proverbs? It's this notion of hunger, feeding the poor. It's central to advancing God's will."

Fish in Michigan are getting smaller.
Warming water, agriculture runoff, microplastics, and chemical toxins now flow through every tributary, every gill, every egg.

Climate change heats the surface. Pollution poisons the depths. Between them, the lakes are starving.

hung moon, raven
lunar swoon, lunar reflection
a current govt and leader, craven

hey there, moon,
would you hold our light,
soften our plight

soothe our sorrows
hold us together,
hold us tender...

lunar swoon,
reassure our bruised hearts

through a new morrow
that things aren't so dark

I heard some old friends at Pod Save America were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.

achingly exquisite,
exquisitely aching

is this creation.

our imagining,
this world
of our own making.

a being beautiful,
yet horrifically tragic

a love dreadful,
also made from magic.

#AnimalRights aka #NonhumanRights
are NOT a gift we give to #Animals
They are a BIRTH RIGHT we have taken from them.

#AnimalWelfare (using them) vs animal rights (no use) are two separate things.

Animal Rights because there are too many wrongs.

My posts will focus mostly on poetry, foster care, adoption, and disability rights. The latter matters to me because I'm fully mute, autistic, and struggle with anxiety and depression as a result of my PTSD. I'm supportive to those with other conditions. I believe that together we can do more.
