Coins On The Tray

...They laid their gold
on a tray the color of midnight,
fingers ringed in stones
that caught the candlelight like captive suns.

Outside,
a boy with a patched sleeve
watched frost stitch lace

His Kind of Love

...I am my father’s daughter —
quiet when it matters,
loud when it doesn’t,
loyal like a bruise that never fades.

He was a man of few words
and too many beers,
a homebody with calloused hands

On Returning Leftover Peppermint to My Neighbor

...Digestion liquesces peppermint. I chew
the leaves for both of us, an aftertaste

when stillness is an afterthought.
Dust gleams like the raised plastic on a debit card.

Winds seem to bank and ...

A Cowgirl Momma, Carved by Faith

...The nights get cold on that prairie land,
But she don’t break—she takes God’s hand.
With a baby girl tucked close at night,
She leans on faith when there’s no end in sight.

She’s patched old je...

Hurts So Good

...She is deliciously unhappy.
     Listening to heartbreak songs in minor keys, the melodies seem to flick her heart…flick,flick…Like the 4th grade bully who sneaks up behind everyone to flick an ear,...

Hopes and Dreams

...Beneath tin roofs and between rusted walls,
their dreams hang like torn cloth
patched, and faded , in the wind.
A cracked bowl, a child’s laugh
hope drawn in a poster  on broken walls....

After the March

..."After the March"

Almost eight years, the flags have flown,
A soldier's wife, yet so alone.
Eight years of heartache, silent cries,
Of wiping tears and telling lies
Like "I'm okay," when I was...

Raven Eyes

...When I take off as a raven,
the branch wobbles
my dark figure melts into the night.
No pack, no company
aside from the starlights—
they were once
alive, but now all there’s left are...

Hug I Will Never Get

...

I carried the weight of the world in my hands,
Three small hearts beating through my own,
Raised on weary limbs and sleepless nights,
In silence, I labored — always alone.

I gave them my bo...

Where the Suburbs Meet the Sea

...“Where the Suburbs Meet the Sea”

I walked again where I began,  
past fences worn, where gum trees ran—  
but now the tide had kissed the land,  
and waves rolled in like time unplanned.

An Evening Alone

...
Evening Alone

I sit here alone this evening
And watch as the shadows grow.
I look back on days of youth,
and forward to growing old

I think what I remember best,
Is my children as they gr...

Banned Book Club VII- 1984

...Midtone grey surrounds what’s left of a man’s soul
Scenes of biblical abominations troll
Inky are the hellish horizons appalled 
An okay is needed for anything at all 
Manipulating truth determin...

The Woods of Four dimensions

...Washed ashore on the lost island

Skin already peeling on the beach

Burning from the hot green summer sun

Meat melting off to become bone

Jumping back into the water

Cooling off with th...

Situational Awareness

...Hearts are patched up
stitched tight
yet
small perforations
may
let in
that strange light
that is not light
like God is not God

Love is not a Band Aid
love doesn’t heal
it cocoons self-i...
