Trauma
I hold your hand always
make you stay safe within me
I lead you down familiar avenues
until the pathways in your brain
are fast lanes
everywhere you turn, I'll be here
steer you, bend you
colour every decision
repeat my birth
repeat, repeat..
Unless you see me.

progress or regression
probably both
my cat chased her tail all day
and was happy about it
that's what I want from tomorrow
to be happy with achieving nothing

brittle rattle, tick-a-tack
the clock is clacking tangled mess
fire breathing ears asting
a moment flicking, breathing thin
brittle battle flicking tongue
lopsided warmth of inner song

energy I waste
on debating my own thoughts
imagining imaginary people say
what I imagine they must think
fantasising my replies
triumphantly or wise
to an imaginary end
then go to bed
only to rise
debating my own thoughts

I wish I was alive
hear around me, stretch
find comfort in my body
my head a kind companion
experienced and strong
I am alive
looking for the first thread
to pluk and resonate
in every bone

the crunch of words on my tongue
each flavoured meticulously
to conjure up phantastic paintings
travel down another throat
be gobbled up
and swallowed down
what do they taste of?

Growing
up and out
extending branch and hand
in endless stretching towards light
yearning for serenity
and knowing
always growing
up and out
minding roots
to hold and ground
lofty branches balanced out
I'm here
I'm found

Connection
bloodred, real and brittle
overwhelming longing
to be known
scrape out the muck and
paint it into winding story
helpless need to hide
but gnawing hunger
to be known

Poet's Note (from Poetry Society of America): "What drove me to write the poem...was the impulse...to make excuse after excuse for people who don’t treat us well because we’ve internalized that we’re just supposed to be grateful for the attention."

like a ship at high sea
ever in the throws of change
uncertain futures
flickering behind the light
of the mind-eye
try them on for size

Is life
the enemy of poetry?
in the evening, the grind
has ground you down
and no more thoughts escape
the mind palace
only little worries
trickle out and about
to make a pool of big worries
drowning sparking thoughts
at infancy

painted horse and fire engine
riding side by side
swift and strong
their sight but blurry stripes
I wonder if
they ever dream
of getting to arrive
