when all else has failed
and all else keeps on failing
just keep being weird

When you understand
And in understanding breathe
Peace resides within

First circle of sun
Year disappears in nothing
Everything crumbles

When you understand
And you know in your soul
Joy laughter and dance
10/3
If you lock the door
Nobody knows you’re crying
And nobody cares

old songs and silence
tears freezing in hot sun stream
loneliness darkness

you don’t even see
darkness surrounding humor
invisible me

they said there’d be clowns
for laughter and frivolity
except that it’s me

time passes slowly
speeding by before you blink
memories bring tears

death stalks in treetops
silently coming in pairs
hawks vigilant

Redefinition
who are you
sum of your parts
but less
and more
and now that your parts are fractured
where
exactly
does that leave you
wife
mother
daughter
other
poet
princess
sugar dumpling
doctor, lawyer, indian chief?
but no
walking in darkness
dancing in rain
puddle splasher
Jedi slasher
freak of predawn
in silence
alone
lonely
likely
but slowly learning
to be okay
with alone

Neighbor peeks covert
nearly hidden in round window
squirrel stolen bird house

dark clouds hang heavy
threatening rain, snow, emptiness
missing you hurts
