  • The Process x River People

    Settling my hand
on a bur oak’s 
bare chest. 
Flailing distantly 
for the giving reach
and feeling encouragement 
from limestone
crevices beneath -
I leap. 
Hints of living
where fish
swarm in silver darts
for lunch
and never hunger.
She holds enough.
They have two children
in thick, wool hats.
A transparent bond
below a howling dog’s
wounded voice
caroling softly 
across the bristling stones.
    More here!

  • Siren

    Listening to your voice, I wonder how many beautiful poems I’ve hated listening in mine.

  • Preposterous Ponderings: iii.

    Certainty:

    A crutch we use

    to reassure ourselves

    everything is okay.

    But it already was,

    because things are

    and thus, already

    as they should be.

  • Optimism

    What if tomorrow sucks?

    I’ve already had worse days.

    What if they don’t want me?

    I’ve moved on before.

    What if…?

    No. What if.

  • Curated Gems

    Depth without complexity,
confidence without grandiosity,
humor without nihilism,
yearning without apprehension. 

Naturally lit, 
unfiltered, 
organic, 
palatable perfection -
no less, no more.

  • Dire Straights

    I don’t need something to live for, I need something to die for.

  • Antics

    You could walk on glass for these people
and they would ask you to take your shoes and socks off.

  • The Goldilocks Zone

    My love for you is unconditional,
my relationship with you is not.

  • Preposterous Ponderings: Pointless and Plain

    If it seems complicated,
    it is.
    Isn’t that simple enough? 

  • Sanctuary

    Cradle in the arms of pine needle anemone
Wash in the light of magnetic, bleach sand
The biochemical hum of gray matter overlapping white
Subtle lucidity of this square foot garden

Find your sanctuary,
Build your peace
