Why Can't I Remember?
Why can't I remember? What am I avoiding? Why do I hide from the truth when I know you're not a good person? Why do I keep coming back when everybody tells me,

It's Raining
My world It's raining all over! No snowing There is clover and alfalfa Oh mama left me in September buried in October the next year my sister left me in September buried in October My cancer started in September left on a beautiful day in May They still are tracking to keep me from taking the cancer trip again. I am aging, You have to be tough I was told, it can be rough They are right it can be a fright! Love makes the world go round that is what I have found September is also raining recovery on me the family illness, you see had me, but when I turned 24 on September of 1978 I was all for the beginning of no more jealousy, and sarcasm, or control and manipulation, or staying up all night to see what happened, right? Then in September 1980, I found I had to put down and it turned me around My life changed from chaos to sound beauty and love, and I have been given so much, and the celebration of recovery happens in this month too So, it is a mix of loss and love for me and who else but Halloween and several too who say Boo! Just around the corner in October for me and you.

Leftover
EMPTY heavy lies. speech, personality; RESERVED— modest, observer. thoughts, opinions; BYSTANDER— no words. BYPASS; rose-tint, nothing amiss.

What the Fossils Tell
Peering through the coils of time, fingers dance across ribbed shells. Cold rock beneath the pads, while sharp edges serate my skin.

this is what it feels like being stalled and breadcrumbed a forest can take centuries to grow and only a few days to burn

Walking After Midnight
Walking upon a garden path After the midnight hour Billowing clouds promise A misty, rainy night Darkness completely descends

Where The Pulse Forgot To Follow
I am drifting through the drywall, in a house that feels vaguely familiar. This building is a cage, yet I am floating, weightless, formless.

Trying To Fill Empty Spaces
a gasping sigh fear holds on tight refusing to let go a change the blame dark claims the night numbing from head to toe

The Aftermath...
I stand here amongst the rubble My head once held high Just hanging on Out from my lips I hear another sign Filled with disbelief

Disconnected
Floating on air hands skimming gold saffron Nothing can be spared beautiful assassins Striking the blow rusty blades piercing skin

Mad Hatter
I’m wild, baby, I’m strange; the weirdest friend you can’t exchange. You may think I’m twisted, you may think I’m cursed; honestly, all this back and forth makes me wanna burst.
