who knew
ten years ago
writing to process trauma
would
make my heart
and mind stronger
and open my world
to new ideas, people and order,
even make me live longer?!

It's surely made me wonder,
observe, admire and sonder
in many a world
where I'd like to yonder
and ponder
new ways to phrase
my inner yearnings
and sift out foolish fodder.

Part of a person is what is inside,
Build in your children character and discipline,
So that wherever they go they leave their mark.

Unusual and cloudless

This slippery world

Today is still contagious

Here is heat, here is rain

Here is love, regardless

Shadows in the scaffolding

Look like a broken alphabet

The sun in its anger

Just won't set

Life and how to do it

Perfectly absent

He asks me to buy him
cigarettes and drop them
off in the morning
before work,
so he can kiss me
before the day starts.

I’m running out of places
To hide from myself

vicious verbatim victory
very viable verbiage
vivid visa-vis victims
