Sit
Stay
Fight out a battle no one ever wins
Lose young years you’ll not get back

Give
Grovel
Hope the other’s heart will hear
Find months of lessons learned

Be
Banter
Bargain — if you must — but make joy
Allow these precious days

Team Gravity

Mighty, mighty Satellites
Together, we preserve the tide

We wax, we wane, though never fade
Our force detected through the day

We’re New, we’re Full, we’re Gravity
No Cloud obscures the Light we see

A pow’r couple, acting odd
We, dwellers in the City of God

Mess

Posted on by

Do you think back on which days were warm
It was eternally morning
No clock messing with you
11:11am, all the time
Arms overhead
Clear head
Carefree

What’s with all the ice, now, too early to the party
All the shutdowns
All roads some surprise mess
5:55pm, and always grey
Sunrise, where are you
Please rise
Sun

Steel Me

Wherever is my friend
Magnolia tree in her front yard

Alternating flecks of shade ‘n sun
Upon my weakened shoulders

As I walk under it and set a spell
A good cry comes

A goodbye cry, finally
To all the disease now felled

To Dad

I tried
Together to rip off the band-aid with you

To allow the city sun to shine upon the wounds we allowed others to inflict

Vitamin D for our tough-skinned inner-child

The parentified children we were
The superhero we each became

Heal with me, I shrieked to deafened ears
The same way we’d said it to dad

Heal for me
