Leap of Faith
That leap of faith
I sometimes take
are strides without my thinking
Instead of calculating length
I do some rapid blinking.
As I teeter on the edge of life
or death
between. Whichever.
I do not think before I leap -
The Yoga Mat
I somehow wound up
Sitting on a blue yoga mat in my back yard.
It was just so beautiful to sit inside
And the sun was calling me today which it normally never does
(if so I'm usually am too busy to listen) -
Carbonated
I have this cage around my chest
its metallic and bared so close together
My lungs can not properly expand.
Each breath stings my sternum
As if its a titanium pole
that can not and will not bend -
Unlike Me
A poem by Sienna (my sister!)
Drawing is not like writing.
It isn't, not a bit.
They say its worth a thousand words,
But you don't write in it.
The shadow that I'm in
Is a writer,
Unlike me.
Its just, oh so hard, -
Zoom Prez
Can everything just...work out...nicely... for my presentation
For once.
Thanks.
No WiFi issues,
No glitchy screen,
Can I find my power cord before my computer dies,
Maybe?
I don't want to hear 'your muted' -
But Why?!
Y'all were cutting it close.
(I can say that know because everyone's turned it in).
But really? really?!
You submit the day of the deadline.

You make me wait, open, in your tab

The Bonfire
Night fast approaching.
Sitting in chairs looking on at the mound of wood.
An elegant bird rising destined to fall.
Then a light.
Small yet growing fast.
Then in a second the bird catches.

Separation
It's always the goodbyes that are hardest
especially when you've gotten so close
after years of distance
it's worst when you don't end up getting to spend the time you wanted to spend with them

Outsider
My neighbor is doing Duolingo across the street,
He’s in his sixties learning a new language
And I’m just eating leftovers, watching him,
Wondering if he’s practicing French for his husband.

picking up the pieces
sarcastic jabs and quippy lines
I hope you know I usually don't mean it
and I know my best is not enough
but that's what being human is all about
I don't have to worry about perfection
I will overcome compulsions

The mirror
I looked in the mirror
And today
Instead of focusing on my flaws
On picking out everything I hate about my face
Instead of being my own worst enemy and self-critic
I looked
Really looked
At this girl

The thing that saved me
At the beginning of the year,
I lost myself
So completely
To the crushing waves of despair,
Hopelessness,
Sadness,
I am always angry
But usually I can put my anger away
