Take my arm
when my world
becomes a #blur
when there’s only light
no focus; and I’m blind
too tired to fight on my own
lead me back
back to the beginning
where I must try again
to solve the insolvable
or else learn how to live
inside the blur

It is the hour of
stressful decision-making
as I clean the house

Bluesky on my phone...

scrolling rolling thumb
there's a tremble in my hand
double tapping clicky sticky hearts

Nonetheless many poems
worth all the like like likes

Women in cages
in cul-de-sacs
swallow silence.

Sorrow stains their cheeks.
Masks hide their faces.

I stand behind glass houses,
digging graves,
praying I won’t break.

His shield has my mark,
Where he stands, my heart fell,
Vengeance, be my guide.

...

I will recall his face,
And, though a thousand shields,
See only him.

...

They move all as one,
The #Phalanx holds only one man,
The one who took him.

🎯 🗡️

Forever is not
a thing, to have, or hold --
let's make tomorrows

Each day's forever
We live in them all, at once.
For better or worse.

the city still holds a bit of summer—
my tired feet
crush the sound
out of dead leaves

down dark streets
to a quiet house
the music of night
slithering in me

i don't tell him
but i want to feel the hands

tonight
my forty-something bones
exhale loudly—
another round of regrets

after work:
meeting a handsome man
in the parking lot....
bit of darkness in his smile

🗓️ There are 1207 days until January 20, 2029.

Shadows in the streets,
Truth tangled in whispered lies,
Empires fall like dust.

I see dead things! 😱

At wood's edge air was fetid over the badger's bloodied body

Expectations became
weapons.

Opinions hurled at me
ricocheted,
piercing their own chests.

The bully in the mirror
locked inside
Pandora’s box.

He stands at a loss,
my six-year-old boy—
a mystery before him:
his sister’s ongoing anger,
unreadable, and real.

beware
the lines
they say
behind
soft smiles

for when
the time
comes by
they #blur
the lines
between truth
and lie.

moving through a strong weariness

Those who stare, only at their shadows; often bemoan, the lack of sun.

Easier, to expound self-darkness; than to turn and face, the light outside.

Their warped wit, belies an aching fear; to love and lose, the good and bright.
