Want for nothing
lasts and first
blur together
defy categorization
we eat dreams
spit out the seeds
trample them underfoot

From compressed soil
they grow despite discard
beanstalks of magic
reaching ankle heights
needing no greater distance
to prove themselves

Left to themselves
they would burn in the sun
so I take small pieces
ingest them
let them nurture me

Hand me down dreams
frayed at the edges
keep the cold at bay
while I learn
to weave my own

One after another
they parade through
dressed in all their finery
draping it over me
making me feel less shabby

Away away
to anywhere but here
where I cannot be
any more
and always less
than you hope for me

Me and you kid
we're much the same
learning something new
every day
teaching one another
how to navigate life

there are songs heard
only by some
incantations for spirits
and poetry to those
that inherit the earth

The nightshade
grew
ever deadly
spread far
with its toxic root.
Those like children
who never listen
feed forests well.

The forest is perfect
especially for worms
The soil is moist
the mulch is prime.
Hide all ye fishin' worms!

the swimming pool
blue and enticing
on the deep end
a red handkerchief floats
weird...no one's around
