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

They've decided anyone who is not part of their group is subhuman and does not deserve to be treated humanely, and that anyone who disagrees with them should be punished. They lie constantly and only quote scripture and US laws and protocols if it benefits them. Unconscionable and despicable.

it always feels as if
the moon is watching
over me at night even
now when I no longer
need it to protect me

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
