We forgot how to be alive
We forgot our connection to life and the cosmos

Ten-year Randi Clay
Just moved into town -
The town of Fear Street,
Where horror pulls you down.

Enormous, gigantic calendars
She sees, hung on her street
On October 10th is marked
In red  - ‘The Birth of Pete.’

She makes new...

Took me and it tossed me...

All these years ago it began
then I picked up my black pen
wondering if I could write poetry

Writing a rough draft.
Then an even rougher draft.
Falling asleep and knocking coffee all over my pages.
Using up my whole notebook.
Running to the paper store and begging for all the paper...

To cut a rug,
And why should anyone need to do it?
In their 20s and 30s, they jitterbugged
If you had the energy to pursue it

The jitterbug was a lively dance
That was all...
