Take a photo of me
Somebody
Let your lens
Strip away the noise I wear
When I can’t see
Be the eye
Denied to me
Shutter
Capture me
Finally

Whole Home
The ol’ place out West
The Southern shadows in need
But more so, the Heartland
Then the universe in the North
Before the trek back East
Grey Paper
Words
Wasting words
Like wishes to the wind
Warned I was
Warn I will
Walk
And waste not
Words
Clarity
It’s each day, isn’t it?
We dig deep into the recesses
Pull out the silken fabric
Clean their soil from our sunglasses
Then smile that we remember
The true truth
Insipid Storm
How the heat
Awakens us
Unfairly ’round midnight
Demanding
Be more
Want more
Until we can take it no more
Covers off
Masks off
Enshroudments be gone
Our skin will breathe
At 3am
We’ll rise by choice
windy, city girl
best Friend
who’d understand
you’d understand
this heartfelt need
this destructive deep
swim now or drown
you’d tell with love’s frown
my sister
you’d say
wake from sleep
Emperor
Look with me if you will
You diamonds
For possibilities
Opportunities
As the finest ideals find fruition
Courageously bid if you dare
You rocks
That pressures
Oppressors
Draw near and be proved unclothed
To Do: A Haiku
Oh to no longer
be unrecognizable
and disconnected.
Doomed
What if we’re happy
With the climate now
What if we bid hope be gone
What if time’s wasted
While wanting for change
What if we just accept wrong
Instead Of Dying
Walk this heat-weary mile
Throat parched
Painful shoes
Nearly no breath left
Don’t blame the mistake
The map you made
When your eyes were younger
Tip your hat to the hurt
Toss your map to the sky
And take aim
Let those smithereens shade you
Praise the what-lies-ahead
Without thinking twice
Walk forth
