I Want To Be Heard

...I want to be heard. 
Like a bike dinging. 
Whirling by, has a path. 
Enjoying the busy howls. 

I want to be heard. 
Like a harmonica. 
Making unique sounds. 
Breathing hard and music is made...

Alice Can't Slip Through the Wormhole

It’s a ghostly feeling by the tv.

How the echo filters reality

...

It creeps up on me early morning
and again late afternoon
a microcephalic shadow,
almost the length of a football pitch,
Land of the giants view

My childlike head is miles 
away and dwind...

in a funk

...
wilting in the setting sun
dissolving deflating
undernourished underfed
neglected rejected

unknown
a mystery
if any degree of pampering
can bring me back to life

The Rip

...
A line of waves
begin their run to shore,
lifting, rising up and flaring
cobra like as if preparing 
to strike, gliding forward
until the shallows down them
and they fall, deflating
to a wit...

To find

...How do you find this place?
Do you find it with greatness? 
Do you find it with peace?
Do you find it with proportion? 
Do you find it with the least?
Do you find it with wanting?
Do you find i...

Don't Rush

...

Don't rush Spring
because of everything it brings
Each day in a season is valuable to explore
To live, to love, to experience more
Find the light shining in the snow
or when it's cold, enjoy...

Flowers and Balloons

...flowers
                      abloom, flory
            loving, wedding, growing
bouquets, blossom, inflatable, bouyant
        deflating, bursting, tether...

Breakfast For the Ducks

...Near the fountain stands the male
In iridescent glory,
But his mate begins this tale,
A true Manhattan story.

These same ducks have made their home
Outside a high-rise building.
I see them sw...

The Crazy

...Can't find 
No peace of mind 
As the days go by
It gets harder to try
 Waiting on something I just can't find
It's getting harder to not to be left behind
Used to think my life was meant for mo...

A Delicious Emotional Stew

...I genuinely like myself for most of the things I do
And it brings me joyous pleasure when it pleases you
When we do things for each other it seems to work just fine
And trouble will come calling w...

A Field, Imagined

...embracing the trumpet blast heat 
a boy and girl
hide and seek
midst tall grasses
                  rising like promises at dawn
vibrant lightness of limbs
                   in a green reach

A Snowman's Hold

...snowman three meters high
an inelegant formation
     of grizzled snow packed in lumps 
                                   needing refinement 
stubby tree-branch arms 
glutching fastened balloon...
