The wind in my hair. ears, the sky. & night moon rising, as I slowly move by. 1,000 miles on this old dirt road, where do I go? who shall i see? do we fit in pockets? or that sweet by and by? Oh, Georgia, fool me. there’s a river flowing, and i’ll go downstream. […]
Side by side, a tusk, a snout, vibrations lead the kingdom. Another day, another climate, a goose flies ahead, & the rest follow. an earth creature, it’s me, this is… I. I do not fly, but I sing, and that it all I ever bring: to you. a heart song, a beat, like an elephant […]
Play Beethoven for me, he says begrudgingly, like I know my classics. This is a dating +plus one, arm around the waist, hold hands tactic. What if the hustle was love, not money? In the evening, a book on the patio, a candle to light, a nocturne to play softly, melanch0ly, aching, alone again but […]
We start a new day. The dew smells like a dog. Breakfast begins & we turn to each other saying, “I’m a turtle, too!” Speaking of landlocked states… & That’s all, though the words long as days of hot, fire, burning summer. alongside a masked disguise of ~bummer, dude~ We sit in the break of […]
poetess or pianist, musicianess or real honest. Pianista, senorita, she. No sound, just verbs, please. Funnels down with or out a company. When the truth is poetry the story is me.

It’s more plausible to occur from a bike accident than some novel zoonotic vector but the point remains that death is always ahead of us at some point, someday, whether rain or sunshine. I’ve never been […]
I thought my heart was broken. It’s seen nothing yet.My tenses are off because what happened, is a life primer. like “pre” school or whatever. Not a thing or verse or word can prepare us for the worst. I’m alone, but I’m fine. Just doin’ time. Without my Mom and Dad,there’s not a me.And that’s […]
I’m lonely sometimes but it’s fine. I have music. & when i don’t hear eloquence, i make it. Everybody is cleaning, but I bet vacuums would say “Sucking doesn’t suck.” Literacy, meet your competition: #machineDreams One of the greatest inventions of the 21st century is the text message. It was created for the deaf and […]
A few years ago, a Michigan woman decided to uproot her life and start a new chapter in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. It began quickly: she got a one-way ticket, said goodbye to friends and family, and headed off on a grand adventure. Gumption is a quality she had to muster up. She also […]
Technology changes us, but i won’t be a machine. Language now has a visual function. Language now has a visual function. Language now has a visual function. from what i see. Do you see? Can you read?
