Murmur My Name to the Meadow

Murmur my name to the meadow, 
and I'll move. 

Whisper my words to the water, 
and I'll swim. 

Carry my voice through the choir, 
and I'll sing. 

Scream my spirit to the sky, 
and I'll fly. 

Lament my love to the lights, 
and I'll shine. 

But do not fling my findings around like an overweight frisbee. 
Do not desecrate my language with your filthy mouth. 
Do not batter my being like some playground bully. 

Instead, 
rage against my rulers, 
and I 
will come 
running.

  • Dawn to Dusk

    Light is lobbed to the leaves and they cradle it 

    In the evening they throw it back to the sun 

    whose tendrils collect it 

    then go home 

  • Peace

    I think peace looks like:  

    driving on the highway from College Park  

    listening to “White Ferrari”
