It Hurts to Know

“You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens.” — Rumi

Carrying the Weight of 2020

Or do we just set it down?

Wash Away

A poem on cleansing

Water flowing 
from a steaming valve,
let’s wash it away

Rain

A Haiku

Nature’s musician,
Showers tap earth like a drum
Soft sounds summon sleep.

A Subtle Sign You Are Depressed

And No You Can’t Just “Stop Thinking About it And Hope It Goes Away.”

Impatient

A Poem

I’m dying to see
the blue horizon
through your hair floating
in the sea breeze

What is True

and who lit the gaslamp

Justice

Grey fabric encases my skin
Rancid smells 
Tear the shame from my flesh
Wrapped in a prison of my own making
Expose me piece by piece
Voices…

Madness

Dark Haiku series

I want to break free,
Scream, scream until my lungs burst,
Sea waves, come take them
