Poem: Music of the Blood (full poem)









It is what it is
To cut open your belly
and bleed out on stage

To open one's eyes
and be caught by surprise 
that other's stare back through the haze

Oh, what it is
To take all one's pain
Give birth to a dirge as you mourn on the page

Poem: Welcome 2021

Dread has this heavy feeling Rock in my tummy And this city leaves ash in my eyes So I take to the woods Moss cushioned steps and words I can't take back But I would not If I could? I would string them like pine cones Like pearls around my neck Red and blue?  That shit's for you  Smoke it by yourself

Poem:Lunacy (or how to lose composure)

                Like laces     Tied and tumbling                                    Mute   Like laces tied and tumbling Stagger, fits and starts Like laces tied I am stumbling                    Frozen. Caress the sky with gaze                                                                                                                                                                                The earth pulled out from under me                                                                                                                                                                  I don't know what to say
