  • to belong here

    irritating tears-      a hardening before a sense of      belonging breaking down waves of      rebellion a window to the heart & soul of: trying, sorting, feeling, fighting,      howling unchartered spaces

  • bound by the same thread

    Pick up a needle, a piece of thread, slowly push it through the eye of the needle Tie a knot to ensure we know where to stop push and pull through the fabric and tug at its ends In & out, and around again stitch after stitch just enough to tie us together just enough…

  • Endless Summer

    We wandered the streets beneathHollywood stars, chasing silver-screen dreams,waiting behind velvet ropeson warm, electric nights. We stayed out ‘til dawn,then hit the shore—proof that the perfect dreamwas always something more. Santa Monica mornings carried us south:Huntington’s waves, Dana Point’s grace—surfing, spotting whales,then finding the next hot place. It was the season of freedom,of highways and…

  • Stay…

    a convenient state a safe distance     far away     kept cool yet close enough     to keep warm only in touch by one method:     a dream revived to a slow pulse    by whispered words:      “It’s all real, just believe.          Stay with me.”

  • Fields of Gold

    IlluminatingFields of gold stretch far and wideHues of orange speckled with pinks and yellowsUnderneath an open sky You live here in the lightWhile I place shades upon the bridge of my noseTo block the blinding lightAnd live amongst the shadows
