It’s like seeing ghosts, Without a death, Shadow and memory, Weaving lips to eyes, Mostly echo chambers, To a time that healed or harmed, Physician, heal thyself, Your Hero’s Journey, Incomplete, dark, dim, The wise old man has gone, The sages’ advice? Find him within you, Grab your sword, There isn’t any time, To pack [...]

Inside Out
Last year kicked my ass. Turned inside out, rebuilt, Within the columns of my life, Again...always this changing, Enigma. I don't..I don't, Understand the kids today, We raged against the machine, They rage against singularity. But me? I burned down. Another rebirth. In my ashes, I tried to dance, But found my tears on the [...]
The One Story I Want To Be Done Telling
What are facts? My brother confirmed something for me that ties into one fact of my life: I follow the rules. Except, you know, for stealing soda and lunch snacks when I was a kid. I had a sweet tooth. But, otherwise, I followed the rules and made sure everyone else around me did, too. [...]
Asleep At the Wheel
That’s the way it goes, Cool on skin, breezing, Lost tides, your eyes, I am drowning in myself, But no, I know which way, The goddess blows, She is me and I am her, Perfect, I am perfect, If only I could release my flaws, You’d see the colors they bring, To this vanilla body, [...]
Awakening the Free
What are you looking for? Skimming, gliding over my words, As if I had answers, or none, You haven’t even asked yet, So how would you hear? I know, hearts have their beating, You have to be close enough to listen, Restless and fickle, locked away in my mind, Shedding it all, I must get [...]
Break the Family Pattern
Once, I read children are karma, Having never been a mother, I have watched in horrified wonder, Upon discovering it was true after all.
It feels like this to want
A drip like honey through my veins, Amber fire, glass container, buried ember, Burning, replacing blood, alchemical, Running barefoot across soft, lush greens, Pines on the wind, caressing my soul, Agate and moss, jade and stone, pulled, Of course I notice, of course I see, I am, Only human and imbibe, On private mythologies, Where [...]
Someone Stripped Innana of Her Crown Again
I never had a child, But, wait, you don’t wanna know about me, Nor I you, tied up in the mono vision, Saints warn us about, but, I AM a mother, Maybe because when I was younger, That’s how we were defined as women, To give and to be giving, until your end, But my [...]
Personal Winter
I am bone and ash, My heart bigger, Than this cage allows, All the lonesome stories, I’ll never tell you about, Came courting my jailer, This karmic mimic man, Yet in my soul stirs whispers, Singing me back to myself again.
Today
The fire burned, but my heart was cold, My dreams were collapsed, made old, Everything I fought for had been robbed, I bowed my head to my knees and sobbed, The light inside dimmed and barely flowed, You showed me you love me a hundred fold. **** Dedicated to my beautiful husband.
