Bananas
Oranges remind me of Juneau
Juneau reminds me of salmon
Salmon remind me of Gold
Gold reminds me of fire
Fire reminds me of water
Water reminds me of drowning
Drowning reminds me of calmness
And rising
Rising reminds me of mountains
Mountains remind me of you
You remind me of Mars
Mars reminds me of red
Red reminds me of yellow
Yellow reminds me of bananas
Bananas remind me of insanity
And oranges
Tall & Lovely
Ahh, the girl from that January beach
Walking past those who shroud themselves in grey
Unchoosing to see
How each simple step they ought take
Means a chance to dance
But in my mirror I see her, whether January or June
I see me, swaying in syncopated rhythm
Barefoot
Embracing time these past months
Finally never alone

Melanin in Me
Don’t be sad for my curves where there often aren’t
They feel fine on my long German bones
The Irish-ilked will in me fist-fights eternally
With my most straightforward Grecian nose
Would that it be soon my silvery strands, earned with my Norwegian blood
Make merry with my Polka feet
Traction
For me
Whether it be storied and short
Or miles long
Sweet sweat
At twilight time
When the day’s taken all it can
Yet, I’ve much, much more to give
To me
Best You: A Haiku
Best you come harder
The Western Storm just don’t know
Say hello to This
