Grounding roots
I gently sketch the branches
of a great pine tree.
I craft them to be delicate
but sturdy.
They hold power,
strength, and glory.
I draw the ground high,

Codes Into My Flute
My fingers dance across my keys,
My lips bend into my embouchure,
And a soft note arises.
My fingers know what to do,
Shifting and caressing,
punching a code into the instrument. -
Copper Wires Entwining

(yet another incomplete poem)
something hits me differently
when the asphalt is wet from the rain,
and my music is turned up all the way.

Arrogant
Your gut curdles.
Your skull stays stiff.
Your flesh shakes,
your feet are wet.
The world can’t fit
inside your shell.
Your skin splits —
