It sniffed the air,
Whiskers spiked,
Smelling danger,
Instincts psyched.

Ears perked,
Sensing terror,
Eye still, alert,
Heart a-tremor.

In a twitch,
A flash of white,
In burrowed ditch,
It waits 'til night.

Then, as twilight spreads her shadow,
Rabbit merges from the Hades,
There's a friend up from the burrow,
Nibbling grass and meadow-daisies.

Our inheritance
is loss

I don't care
about liberation

Freedom is
the ignis fatuus

Everyone's a slave
to something

Whether a comma, or colon:
Punctuation slows my rolling
I need no period. When I end
no Capitalization when I begin
Rulelessly I flow my art
  Not a single!
Exclamation mark
Are you not the one
Who'll know?
Where a question mark
No longer goes

Warp the structure
Bend the lines
Put in repeat
Let emotion unwind
Make yourself
Your poetry's the best
Be your own ruler
Pass your own test

Take your own road
Where ever it leads
Lover or hater
It's all poetry!

i wasn't even looking when i found you,
you just snuck up on me.
i wasn't even asking when the universe sent you,
like magic you were suddenly part of my world.
i wasn't even aware that you were exactly what i wanted,
needed.
now
it's been 16 years
you're still here
still magic
i still find peace in you,
comfort.
love.
you still make me smile,
laugh.
love.
it's been 16 years
and i don't want anyone else
i want you
still.
i need you,
still.
LOVE.
