No shining armor here—
Just shimmering whiskers
When the light is right
Just shimmering whiskers
When the light is right

River erosion
Sea sickness sinking into my skin.
Slitting folds and cutting moulds,
on my knees I beg:
where do I begin?

On still being alive
I live, and for now,
maybe
that's just enough.

Make it End
Darkness,
The closet closing in.
Red sweater hanging,
Gripping tightly, a pen.
Drunken men,
Screaming then,
Breaking smile,
Make it end.
The closet closing in.
Red sweater hanging,
Gripping tightly, a pen.
Drunken men,
Screaming then,
Breaking smile,
Make it end.

Washed Up
I'm not using this boat as a metaphor

Illusions
It is as I was musing
About winning oh,
Such a grand prize
In the millions
That I finally checked
The numbers
And thus the end
Of my illusions.
About winning oh,
Such a grand prize
In the millions
That I finally checked
The numbers
And thus the end
Of my illusions.

Countdowns.
Closing eyes.
Winding....
Clocks.
Faces.
Weather beaten.
Hands that won't work.
Starting.
Counting down.
Every start.....
An end.
Reasons.
Worn away.
Not willing.
To do it all over again.
Blindness now.
Accepted.
Departing.
Bottom line.

Thankful for you
A hard time for me
but I am thankful for you
for all that you are
but I am thankful for you
for all that you are

Life
Truth be told,
I want someone to hold,
To walk this life with me.
It’s rather lonely.
I want someone to hold,
To walk this life with me.
It’s rather lonely.

Simbiotic
I keep getting the feeling
Of me
Not Just being
Me
The Slow feeling
I'm Submerging
Within
Asking whatever
Is looking
Through my eyes
What do you
See
What do you
Feel
Why Me
Of me
Not Just being
Me
The Slow feeling
I'm Submerging
Within
Asking whatever
Is looking
Through my eyes
What do you
See
What do you
Feel
Why Me
