We used to call it Pit City. Section eight housing. My mom called ahead— I was sixteen and still scared to ask for what I needed. I was on work-study at a clean family practice just around their corner. A freak snowstorm. They still lived there. My mother’s friends. Less lucky. Sue was the daughter. She’d shown me a bong when I was nine. She was cool in a way I...

Life is peaceful when you no longer resist. Like nature quiet if you accept its creation, Not trying to be fit and choose to be yourself. Balanced yourself with plus and minus concept.

A moon hanging low amidst the glitter of stars, my heart's aflutter with dire anticipation. Together we cast golden coins in a fountain, the darkness of the night oozing with mystery.

Some days I think we were born tilted, a vertebra out of place in the spine of the world— a child learning to walk by stepping on ants, the smile never quite guiltless.

Like currents pulsing through the veins of time/ A dance of opposites so grand, so prime/ Light and shadow, day and night, One cannot live without the other's might/ Like a battery charged with two-fold grace/ Positive hums, negative keeps pace/ Push and pull, give and take/ A cosmic rhythm none can break/ In forces unseen, in whispers divine/ God's glow, the darkness aligns/ Not...

It's the singing birds that delight me But it's the bees and wasps that anoy me It's the rare appearance of snakes that disturb me I wish that they would never come anywhere near me The ants, bugs, mosquitoes, and trickets discomfort me The colorful roses and budding trees excite me The country quiet and setting sun soothe me Some things are...
