When I was a girl, still on the island
I’d sit in the sand
and brood
and revel
in what I thought was utter enlightenment
a teenage rebel
with dime-store refinement
We were all this way, and there is no shame
In the...

2016,

Sheep.
Magpie.
Mule deer.
Mustang, colt, mustang...upon the ridge.

Eagle's nest, bald.
Oreo cows, in far field.
Running baby cows.
Sheep.

Felled branch...100 mph winds.
Controlled burn, left quiet;
but not, as it turned out,
without embers enough
to catch to flames
and race up the Sierra,
down the...

When I go home damn
Its really quiet 
Never thought I'd find this amount of white noise
In the pitch black face silence 
As I flip scenarios of something like self inflicted violence
making, my room, look....just a...

And there you go away again
Onto a place, which only you've been
Where when questions are asked
You're always related back
Answers free of any dividends

Escaping Illusions


A person can only take so much
Guess you ran out of luck, huh?
What’s next?  What did he do?  What didn’t he do?
You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

When the violence intensified and put fear on us, 
When the police brutality coasted me a friend and my face, 
When the eviction notice saw...

And took West Mountain Road.
My friend and I prefer that  way
Back there, where time has slowed.

We drove past farms in rolling hills
Where cattle grazed in shade
The creek we...

What happens when you are indulging;

For a long time we have been bulging.

Or where it's going to stop

I'm surprised as much as you guys
My fingers just type away
No idea where...

Three gals lost their wits, went out of control
     Men ogled and flirted
     Desires so perverted
The girls checked out before...

He whistled as he coasted down
The lonely road
The passing wind tugged at the tail of his docile cloth
"You see that, Shadow?" He said
"They are jealous of our company"
The shadow grinned and patted him
"I'm with you"

Attila, Hannibal, and Genghis Khan
Were comparing the many battles they'd won.
Hannibal boasted o'er the Alps he had coasted
On elephants and conquered the Romans.
Khan's hordes did maraud both at home and abroad
In places they'd ne'er make...

In another lifetime, I was there
As sudsy clothes, a’jumble,
Went round and round until removed
In damp and twisted tumble.

Into the dryers they would go
While I just sat there, reading,
To help the time go by so boredom
Skulked...
