Recounting Wounding Costs
I know what it costs
to parent a tyrant

feeling guilty,
self-blaming shame

Narrow Margin
In the narrow margin between life and death,
I feel as I'm walking a tightrope - but balancing.
I'm a portrayal of metaphors,
illuminating like spring's moon,
who sunk like winter sunset,
but arose like summer sunrise -
my last...

Gardens,

and other multiculturing complexities,
process
and sometimes progress into becoming ripe,
then unbecoming dormancy,
advent of and for regardening
redreaming seeds
preparing to further process
Perennial primal roots deepening into
new spring's progressive attachment
network of polycultural dream garden nutrition,
aesthetic nurture,
ethical nature,
animating...

Hidden
Hiding behind a mysterious facade
As they wrongly charge me with
blatant estimations of who I am.
Drowning in scorched tears,
not sure about this voiceless
and veiled existence.
Feeling displaced as they examine my
New York inflection, while...

In the twilight where shadows whisper secrets of forgotten epochs
In the twilight where shadows whisper secrets of forgotten epochs,
An old man stands, a spindly relic of a bygone era,
So brittle he could shatter through himself,
From crown to root,
A cathedral of detritus,
Each layer a sigil...

Facets of Words
Should words, like rain drops;
Pelt your heart?
Get drenched; Soak yourself,
quench the earning,
of your parched soul.
When words corrode,

Secure your mind,
from erosion.
And if Words don't,
mean anything?
Then delete them,
Ignore the lamenting.

I always thought he would;
A peaceful afterlife in a stable...
