Bleed

Loveless

Bleed

And over time,
My pen stopped bleeding
But my heart didn't

Quarantine and The Day John Prine Died

Quarantine and The Day John Prine Died

Unplug your clocks
Don’t wind up your watch
There’s no need for haste
There’s nuthin but now.
So farewell dear John
Time’s run out of you.
We’ve run out of song
And can only remember
The gift of your music
When time was alive.

John Prine died this week

Haiku

Night sits on my chest
Squeezes poems out of me
And grinds my poor soul

You.

Tess

You.

I never thought I'd matter
To anyone

Until you
Came along

And changed my perspective
Of the universe

You made me feel
Like I matter

And I'm grateful
For you.

you get a call

Gray

you get a call

you get a call
it’s too early
but too late all at once

you get a call
it is after midnight
he has the bottle in hand

you get a call
it is early morning
the pills are down his throat

you get a call
it’s one am
he tells you not to worry

you get a call
you don’t know how to feel
he says he’s done the bottle
(you don’t know if he means the pills or the water)

you get a call
you don’t know what to do

you get a call
it ends too soon

based off the time when my friend called me during a suicide attempt

autumn

i bathe in serene
sleepy mountainside ledges
kissed by lips of fall

The Sound Of Spirits

The Sound Of Spirits

I'm in the clouds on a horse
I’m running with my old valiant ancestors
At the point where green and blue meet
The sun is now close to sunset
The wind's touch on my face
I was here a long time ago, I know
My people, my plain, my mountains
Now where my spirit belongs
On Khan Tengri Mountain
