Everyone Poops

I am playing with my dollies
And my princess pram all pink
I'm nearly 5
A big girl now
No more nappies
Or plastic pants
I think

I outgrew the potty
When I was only three
My mum says it's because I am brave
Now...

to overcome my youthful woes and nightmarish troubles solve.

Dead Crush

"Dead Crush"



Oh uplift me woman
if we were to have a 
conversation would 
bees fly out of your mouth
or just mewling, simpering 
watered-down honey

When Nature's Best Is Not At All That Good

The ecosystem’s perfect design
A providence of the Great Divine.
A holistic balance that should not fail
If well-taken-cared of by those that dwell.

The atmosphere was just enough
To sustain the living and its habitat.
Green vegetations were all around
And...

I'm just trying to Survive

I'm really, REALLY tired. 

I'm grasping at straws. 

I've lost myself. 

I'm alone so often,

I've got nowhere I can go.

I try to talk to people but I know I'm just bumming them out. 

I didn't...

A Garden In the Sky

I positioned myself by the pool
at some hip-posh happening hotel
on the sultry Sunset Strip in L.A.

a note-book of the rain-tree

FORGET THE FOREVER

You, me, seashore, one place, one earphone,  
Coconut with two straws—one ice cream, two noses.  
Cold winds, but your warmth wraps me whole,  
Two souls in one sweater, hearts beating slow.

Sleepless In Whereis Part 1

I’m stealing through a twilit realm, the ancient pale of Whereis,
passing chambers of an Heiress
(though no need to feel embarrassed)
through a magic mystic mirror hanging curtainless.

grabbing at straws the luck of the draw
some live big some live raw
a few like gods on hills of gold
