Electric Violin

A little round stump sat somberly in a corner of the large wood shop.
It had holes from a fungus and dust from the floor
It was rounded, so if looking from the top it was a lopsided C shape.
It was chopped down four hours away 
And took a road trip until it got to its little destination,
Hoping someone would see its unnatural beauty.
Coupled with a spalted maple
And new strings for the soul.
the little round stump dawned a new electric role.

  • A Space Among The Stars

    To live in a space among the stars
    I'd have to get binoculars
    To see the dentist on the moon
    And find the next Uber at noon.
    To live in a space among the stars
    I'd have to float to school in cars.
  • Frost

    Its fingers were hot
    and cold and
    sweet and dark.
    All at the same time.

    Sleeeeep. 

    It whispered in her ear.
    Her petals shivered.
    Its breath ran slowly
    down
    her stem and
    tickled a leaf.
