My worth is woven
with delicate silk strands,
frayed by the vibration
of your words.

Where Are My Mommy And Daddy?
I saw this little
girl looking at me with worry
in her eyes for her parents.

Youngest
There was never a medal
for simply keeping up.
That much was expected.
What was not expected
was for me to have
thoughts
an opinion
a say.
There's so much catching up to do...
for simply keeping up.
That much was expected.
What was not expected
was for me to have
thoughts
an opinion
a say.
There's so much catching up to do...

loot
scrumping apples from a garden, when suddenly the kitchen door opens and we run like hardened criminals, dropping most of the fruit

Bending of metal, rotting of wood at the crest of Dixie
Elderberry
equinox
October's darting hellfire fox
poltergeist
zodiac
heavy poured French cognac
scorpion
Holston river
awkwardness is best remembered
south Knoxville
brazen
basement musk
sunset hills
lawnmower dusk

unhappy kid
kept himself to himself that seemed best not to say what
he felt like he needed the rest to play ball somewhere else
he felt like he needed the rest to play ball somewhere else

Blue's peek back (A Senryś)
Blink, and an adult
A childhood fast-forwarded
Nostalgia's peek back
A childhood fast-forwarded
Nostalgia's peek back

a child's imagination
robin hood in my head
when I was ten, and I doubt
I'll be so happy again ..

I'll be so happy again ..
