Birthdays..

Studies of woven patterns
Knitted into the grain
of my quarter life
count my rings
Opaque
Proud
Conceited

Coffee ground

Coffee ground. Earthy, with the smell of rain thrown on like an old shawl liquidly drawing from all around somebody's. Never able to keep up with the jonese's her kicked off shoes lay on the grass. Bare feet humming dug into the ground Her heart smiles... Smiling into the swaying wind Dewing the leaves then dewing the earth A mud of clay and heart yearning before her. she makes little clay heart birds that may soar for her Rooted she shades her eyes to watch them A graceful willow in knotted shawls The hum in the earth coursing through her, Shading her hair.

Burnt to a cinder

Ideas are matches They light fires in spaces devoid of reason and dismissive of logic The idea of a person will haunt those spaces long after the reality shows you different You created your hearts desire then you kept it in memoriam when it couldn't withstand the light You told yourself "How could it not be perfect still?"  And then you stood aside as it bled into all that was good about you When it seeped into the carpet and made the tear stained patches crackle and pop You told yourself "Everything that's worth something hurts" You ran along side it as it streamed into the gulleys that fed your spirit  And it poisoned you.  Poisoned you into a mere shadow of yourself...  And still you told yourself "If I could come this far then it must be mine" And then you blew away... Burnt to a cinder by smoke and mirrors

Coloured. Tainted. I stand in myself as I pour around me Seeking to discern what is me and what is ME What is mine and what is lent to me? My something new, borrowed, blue. Blended… Droplets of myself. Coloured. Tainted. I stare into my version of the sun Maybe it’s the glare But once in a drop I see a different colour and taint My snowflakes. In the midst of me,   there is ME Bursting forth to remind me, Of the ME before here I was whole before I was made whole I am b...
