Full moon Obscured by wind blown clouds I stand watching What shakes trees Rattles the sheets of iron on the roof Scatters my yoga mat Off the deck Unfurled like a tongue Stopped mid sentence It hits a wall I stretch taller My feet planted on the floor The clouds part My heart yawns and […]
Should I tell that tree to stop being Or the scent of laundry drying The feel of Hot cement beneath my feet The smell of artesian water Dank with frogs blanket green The sound of a windmill groaning Or a Willy wag tail cursing At 3am The heat The stars The smell of dusty grass […]
You met me when I was sad And thought me fragile You met me when I was joyful And thought me strong Right Wrong It doesn’t matter We are myriad A flock of selves A murmuration rising Tumbling Falling Spiralling We are nothing And no one And everything that is You read my words And […]
My life is a drama And I’m tired of the stage Exhausted from emotion And turning the page The scene plays music I turn it down And walk to the edge Of the concrete path Pluck flowers Weeds turn face to the sky The wind is so cold I think if I were actually in […]
