Still

He was waking or he was falling asleep, neither, both at once. This was a dream. This was the only thing he had ever known. It made no difference, he trailed his own body like ripples after a rock, smoothing and breaking and smoothing again. His feet moved tirelessly, without thought. No longer human, only the Walk was real. For minutes, or for months; time was fluid and distant. Walk. He broke and a low mountain pulled him forward. Smoothed. Broke into flatlands, into shallow water. Into the evening, into the weak dawn. Smoothed, back into the soft yellow lights behind his eyes. Walk. **** He was not alone. This thought came from his bo

Golden

“No nudes,” the tech said as he sidled up next to me. “What?” “Word from the top. No tits for aliens.” “You've got to be kidding me.” “Sagan's throwing a fit in his office.” “I might throw one myself. Might as well shove an Amish guy into space and call it good. What about birth? Basic anatomy?” “Seems fine.” “Well, I guess the aliens didn't need to see the Statue of David. Not like it's a big deal.” He laughed like it was the funniest thing he'd heard all day, or like it was either laugh or he'd never stop crying. Someone picked up on

Blessing

My father strangled a bird quietly, calm as gravity, there in the garden. He bent as if praying to the torqued wing reddening his hand. The night hunkered down on the screaming wildness, on the kicking legs, the abrupt and awe-filled silence. I watched him watch the beak open, close, like rippling lake water. I loved him, the mercy of his heavy knuckles, the kindly indifferent expression. He closed the beak like a priest closes the eyes.

Idle Hands Without Any Plans

Idle Hands Without Any Plans What a way to waste a day, Watching your own flesh decay, How divine, as you may find, Getting lost in your own mind, If I may share, you're quite the pair, That is, you and your despair, This routine, even unseen, Is constant and unfailing, (but) Not to fear, just rest my dear, Tomorrow is another year.

to the boy who doesn't plan on leaving

how much of me can you swallow, love before you finally purge? I am a cartographer of bad experiences; I can locate precisely where I see our divergence extraordinaire and I can tell you before I have even met you that the skin on my hands is too dry for the softness you plan on caressing me with. let me tell you how this ends; I will show you all the people I have destroyed - flooded to the best of my ignorance, driven wild with jealousy, had whipped with lust and left smoking pot after four promises stating otherwise. let me tell you how this ends; after showing you the blessed catastrophe it is to be human, you will destroy me. you may

free bird

it’s a need to feel the suns golden fingers teasing figure eights along my back, & the wind on my cheeks. i must have been a bird in some past life, a swallow or a hummingbird. because, i swear on some nights i can feel the growing pains of an atlas ready to burst through my skin like wings. i just want to be free.

most of us go quietly

with birth we are 'opened' - death we are 'shut' we cooperate - generally live 'flowingly' - but some exist to be fondly recalled - we suppose others are purposely popular - in nice clothes unless one invents 'the better mousetrap' receives The Nobel or whatever nice crap is amazingly famous - or infamous-ly known our one parting shot will be on our gravestone beneath it - we'll molder away for a while after keeping this mindful thru-out our last mile: the cosmic and random had brought us thus far we were never the focus - truly - never the star llp - dA - mar2022

poetry: spring of dreams

unfettered lies liaisons of beings fear of the truth my crystal tears maiden in white tufts of dandelions no fury, no agony close your eyes symphony of purity kaleidoscope of peace breeze embalming the body sweet, sweet dreams when I die play this song and think of me as I dance at the spring of dreams

Blood Brothers

Brookie always holds my hand when we cross the street. She's never given a reason for it, she just does it. It's become this unspoken rule with us that whenever we cross the street together, she slips her hand in mine and I lace my fingers through hers and we walk hand-in-hand until we reach the other side and she drops her hand and we both wipe our palms on our jeans. Brookie's a little scared of crossing the street. Her poppa died in a car crash when we were six. He was a pedestrian. She's never gotten over it. Brookie is my best friend going on sixteen years now, which is pretty impressive considering we're both sixteen. We don't h

Liar

~ "You're lying, Mommy" the girl with pixie hair mumbled as she skirted near the woman's side. "I never lie," Her mother responded as her hands ghosted across her son's hair. "That's a lie everyone lies, the teacher told me so, she says I lie the best, too. " Her eyes glistened with malicious splendor as she said the words being the best liar was a brilliant thing to be, simply perfect. "I never lie," Her mother simply repeated bending over to gather ingredients into the grocery cart. The girl grumbled, "Nu-uh, you're just bad at it." ~ "Tell me another Mommy!!" he screec

Does that make me Different?

I wear make up. Does that make me fake? I cry. Does that make me emo? I have male friends. Does that make me slutty? I smile a lot. Does that make me weird? I laugh loud. Does that make me preppy? I have anxiety. Does that make me a freak? I have Bipolar Disorder. Does that make me abnormal? I respect people. I change for me, and only me. I have a past, but I know I have a future. Does that make me different? Maybe. But at least it makes me Me.

Description

Signs always seem to be telling people what not to do... society can be so restricting sometimes. Wouldn't it be nice if the sign said "Please feel to walk on the concrete path, and respect the flowers so everyone else can enjoy them too. Have a nice day!" Yeah I think strangely sometimes.
