they read their words 
marked each day on walls
like prayers, it gives them
peace in the nowhere

someplace relevant to go

Wounded Sacred Dementia

My last foster care-provider
and -receiver story
is also a sad story
of my last special needs adoption

on the day I first saw her,
and promptly rejected...

Stuck in place…
Free in space…

I’m as sweet as sugar cane…
Whatever happened to your unique personality?

"Fraudulent"



A writer writes of people 
walking lonely dark streets
begging for bread, shelter and cold without all

You keep-you keep-you keep flying,
Though I’m honestly crying…...weeping…..sighing…..
Extra careful not to snip your heart strings
Tattoo your tune in my heart that pleasurably stings
Pain is what I need not to inflict myself with – just what...

That's queer!
said transculturing Curiosity,
peering out Her sacred big-boxed window
panes of misty white fog
gently covering her view
of upstream tiding River's
mysterious grey
reverse time flow

Sometimes,

I could use more courageous exercise

But, Other times
I'm more content, inviting...

Once upon a ZeroTime
we suffered great terror and loss.

People,
animals,
and plants
refused to speak kindly with each other
because of a Big Bad Wolf

Most all credible scientists in that day

that survival of most fitted and dense

“liaison dangereuse”



Tear a thin line 
along my skin
softly velvet
finger tips

soft as a block of butter
hard from the fridge
I'll...
