POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
12 Walls
Tip-toeing past the elders
Our path lit by
Cherry charcoal lanterns
Sweet smoke
Painted frayed rye grass
Charred lupine petals
No one could reach
the last plum
grown in the center of the old tree
The morning sun was too bright
Our path lit by
Cherry charcoal lanterns
Sweet smoke
Painted frayed rye grass
Charred lupine petals
No one could reach
the last plum
grown in the center of the old tree

End of July
I can't remember how
I forgot all the details
I don't know when
It stopped being
Important
All I feel is
All I can recite
I forgot all the details
I don't know when
It stopped being
Important
All I feel is
All I can recite

Well that was nice
Just tell your story
I'll tell you what happened
When the truths don't line up
Unfortunately
We rushed to judge
We pretended that we cared
After the talks
Accord
Just do what they want
Introducing
Juniper laden thoughts
Sqeezing stigmas from our enterprise
I'll tell you what happened
When the truths don't line up
Unfortunately
We rushed to judge
We pretended that we cared
After the talks
Accord

Juniper laden thoughts

Overlap
Even though
I was the one saying sorry
I was the only one
Who felt it
I was the one saying sorry
I was the only one
Who felt it

Goodbye
The anniversary
Came and went
No fanfare
No celebration
We didn't bring it up
There was no exchange
None of the well-wishing you'd expect
They were good people
Mind you
And good people rarely make
A lasting impression

When all the songs came true
I've kept quiet
All these years
Because I felt
That
None of you would understand
What I've been going through
You won't

Tense
In that dark moment
A realization occured
That in the world around me
Not one seemed to care
For what was wrong in my life
(Arrogancy)
To see what was there
Was to see into themselves
And none too much cared to know
What exactly lies inside
(Presumptuous)
Fear
Anxiety
Illusions
I harbor them
Hoard them
This is what I feel
This
Is how I live
Day by day
(Martyrdom)
To be me
Is to be you
To know me
Is knowing yourself

Terrible, just
A testament
To the obvious
Everywhere you look
Utterly, this and that
Insights and
What not

As I drift in circles
Truly I wish
I could set
Adrift
Free
Aimlessly

If I could just
Along the way
Let go of the tension
Stop thinking about it
Get
To
That
Point
Where I need help

Dead pigeons
in the overgrown chicken coop
chopped fir
drying in the sun
the sound of water
seeping into soil
sweet scented
swiss chard flowers
mask
stale smoke
as if you were here
waiting for me
to come in for dinner

Stirring
Reliving an eternity
I am the blind sheep
In winter
Old and tired
Any sunrise might take me
By its loving warmth
Down in the valley and
Forgotten
I wait
For someone to remember
I am the blind sheep
In winter
Old and tired
Any sunrise might take me
By its loving warmth
Down in the valley and
Forgotten
I wait
For someone to remember
