In flickering flames
Ideas warm mind silence
Lost thoughts haunt
In flickering flames
Ideas warm mind silence
Lost thoughts haunt
Caught
betwixt crystal blue
spruse green
fluffy gray white
between dark brown
moss green
gray slate stones
Caught
betwixt and between
caught in the thorny
pale green red brown
today and now
and sparkly crunch
white and empty
nothing of tomorrow
My vicious heart hopes
One day you will understand
It wouldn’t matter

when they creep screaming
from too bright corners of mind
find shadows and watch

cheating on cookies
sneaking covert bites of kale
remember cookies

shitty poetry
sometimes more grand than epic
disgorges deep gloom

Do you remember
when hugs and smiles were common
summer of caution

use your words daily
speak truth, act accordingly
spread your kindness

afternoon breezes
fill sheets and towels to swaying
Sunlight and springtime
thank you, no thank you
I get that nothing matters
help, begged for, isn’t
