Birthday Compilation Poem April 28, 2016

It's time to free myself,
Hey girl...I did all the laundry this morning so we can spend the afternoon under the cherry tree mapping the image arcs of your major and minor characters
enjoying caprese grilled cheese
What light is light if Silvia be not seen
to liquify the solidity of doubt
even when he has just been fed
and glow the tamrasky wild.
I often feel as blue as the veins under my pale skin.
It will always be something I ate.

Compilation Poem for March 17, 2016

“I know it’s dire, my time today” I am afraid of shrinking and having no one notice, He will make you a part of nostalgia, And in that moment, you will change the definition of regret They know every revolution will devour its children We fight, again the cycle will replay. You can nearly hear the children, pointing from the streets “Where is Heaven if we can’t see it?” Slowwwwwwwwwwy growy sticky veins and thickly gains made daily daily May God bless us, everyone We are still alive.

Compilation Poem for April 7, 2016

A bent wheel with a rhythmic call

Flowers wither under tyranny’s boot

She was the toughest soldier I ever met

That is true for all of us

Love is nothing if not cliché

I am tired of hours so bitter

And much of it grieved my heart to think

What man has done to man

And I must think

Do all I can

That there was pleasure there

Our thumbprints are everywhere

A teacher of composition

And she became an action

Telling the children bed time stories

 From the book she loved

Children examine through crystallizing eyes

Training for the next war

Flowers floating around the bedroom

Like poet misses paper

Because my body knows this poem is over

Without warning

I was tearing apart

I was petrified

I couldn’t blink

I fell

And that’s habit.
