Catfish

Catfish wears his straw
hat
sits on the front porch
cussing

He feeds along
the bottom of the creek
gathering what he can
for supper

Sings his song.

Panic Attack

Lord, let me be
free, walking
along the spine of the earth

no longer subject
to these toothless
fears.

Knighthood

Don't pretend you
wear armor.
I know that is only
a set of scales.
I know how you 
feed along the river's
bottom.

Gadzooks

Check out the Gadzooks
on that one
the nasty boys say

I say go to your corner
and cry
like the children you are

Come back out
when you have grown up.

Plus Size

Why should I care
for your tiny ideas 
of what it means to be 

Why should I care
if you section me
off

The challenge
is to freely simply be.

Jackpot

She thought she'd
hit the jackpot
Until she saw the price
that had to be paid

So she went back
and rummaged through
the sale again.

Oddity

She's an oddity
They say
But I don't care

I am who I am

I am creation
purity and urge

I am magic and fire
and heart and reason.

Pressing the Word

I press the word
to find what juice
is inside

No idea can hide
as I press down
firmly

Sucking the sentence
for its worth.

Harry

My uncle Harry
paints with his own brush.
He tells me what's
beautiful about life.
I watch him splash
on color
until a tree becomes real.

She Doesn'T Know

He says
what she doesn't know
won't hurt her

I say violence
can be swift and hidden
and do damage

Just the same.
