Short Poems About Disability
#disability
disabling the sky
what if
someone
disabled
the sky,
no more
morning sun,
no happy,
moving clouds,
no rainbows
stretching
out,
the blue
is gone,
there
is nothing,
but i
do not
have
to watch
the sameness
from my
disabled frame,
my mind
will bring
back
the sun,
the clouds,
the rainbows,
and the blue,
everything
will be
here again.

i cannot love myself
where is this
section
of night
that found
me sitting,
it began
to fall
over my head,
working
downward,
covering
my senses,
to misunderstand
the hour,
this is
the hours
of lovers,
for lovers
convenience,
i hide my face,
i hide
completely,
i can give
my love away,
but not
to myself.

traveling
my legs
can
no longer
take me
to
the places
i want to
travel,
but
my mind
can
carry me.

Dissociated Games
Flinches
And spasms
That swallow
Me whole
The zaps of
Electrical jolts
Tears shooting
Vertical out
Of my eyes
Out of my mind
Where has the time
Gone, I flutter away
Can’t make
Myself stay
Breaking out
Of my cage
I dissociate
I dissociate
I dissociate
And spasms
That swallow
Me whole
The zaps of
Electrical jolts
Tears shooting
Vertical out
Of my eyes
Out of my mind
Where has the time
Gone, I flutter away
Can’t make
Myself stay
Breaking out
Of my cage
I dissociate
I dissociate
I dissociate

Returning to the Scene of the Crime
Returning to the Scene of the Crime
Again
And again
I lean
Over your body
Plucking
Each detail
As something
Revealed.
Returning
Again
To the scene
Of the crime,
Each
Morsel
A tidbit
Unsealed.
Each
Crevice
And shadow
A hidden awareness,
Each imprint
Of madness
An unholy
Sadness,
A thread
Once again
That's now
Healed.

visible

Lost but how?, where?
Waking up
Looking around
Where am I?
Where did I go?
Place looks familiar
Familiar but different somehow
Everyone looks the same
Feeling like strangers somehow
Line is disconnected and no way to call home

writing on his stroke
find I've lost confidence in walking; whereas initially I'd venture out determined to make it back in one piece I wrote my legs just collapse

Spasms: The Pangs of Pain
Spasms
Quickening
Then calm
A wince
Like a storm
Prolonged in it's fury
Varied in its form
A cadence
A tempo
From which consciousness is born
This body is my art
And I love to perform
Quickening

Prolonged in it's fury
