  • Lost

    I’m not sure which is worse, having my hair torn out everyday and markers drawing ‘makeup’ on my face, having a dog chew on my arm and a toddler chew on my leg.

  • Cloud

    Floating in the sky

    Like white fluid still in time

    But moves in slow grace

    Swirled with a brush by an oil painter

    Yet sculpted with regality of wood

    A whisper full of substance

    An illusion of support

    We Are All Made From Each Other.

    I am out at night because I can’t stand myself.


    People are milling on the street. Nobody looks at me. They all look at each other as they pass, and the lights decorate their faces to be tall and luminous.

    Midnight Haircut

    It is midnight and I am getting a haircut on the lawn.

    I am tired, but I shiver with excitement.

     

    Gentle hands tug and snip at my curls,

    And as they fall they take root in the grass.
