“Warn me”You wrote before is was born, these pages of my life. Each of the victories, and the strife. You knew of my wants and each loss, And my needs. Couldn’t you have warned me, Some actions, would cause me bleed. Each page you filled with paths I’d choose. Callouses I’d form, friends I’d lose. […]

Read more "Only cold"Once before I knew what I wanted to do.When skies filled with marvelous winged things. Where tree branches bent like bows carrying invisible arrows. To walk the surface of untrod worlds and see home from beyond the horizon. Yesterday filled with all my tomorrows till they became today. Failures and fixes, burst dreams in realities […]
Read more "Forgotten dreams, not"2017Angry is the finish to seventeen’s year. Fresh with Vitriolic winds of foul political discourse castigating intellect. Career ending Pungent recollections of deplorable sexual aggression. Hate spilled into musically exited throngs gathered on a Vegas lawn. Returning again only to empty pews of Spirit filled faithful with evils chill. Pedestrians dodging misguided zealot fools, evils […]
Read more "2017"Hearing the echo of each shot, feeling nothing but the sound.Here, lying on this damp ground, praying hates bullets will not in me be found.

Read more "Recurring dream"Just before sleep claims another, I listen for the footsteps of my mother.Dreams filter between the prayers and praise, leaving me longing for day. Each lid now pressed bringing temporary rest, as my inner sight takes flight. Skipping across methane pools on worlds filled with jewels, beating beasts with bare hands. Traumatized in a waking […]
Read more "Dream flight"I must write of my dream before day captures my imagination and takes each vivid scene.For a reason still unclear, I am quite far from here. With another’s family in tow, driving across old beaten roads. Children and their mother in the sad and back, a man I seem to know driving, fearful of attack. […]
Read more "Dream search"Forgotten amid the chaos of life, lying in my own fear, crying, take me. Kneeling along a beggars way, empty of hope, filled with shame, take me.

Read more "Take me"“One Race”New to a land as old as time, came hope and hate to a family line. Under a wooded sun, Two ancestors became one. Hate soon humbling Anglo and Native unions. Chastised before two nations filled with confusion. Fare skin shielding our past, Few discussed, even fewer asked. Decades race into today, Hope springs […]
Read more "One race"I know just how to hurt you.When your will is most vulnerable, And deceit rings true. As your breaths come shorter, And hearts beat harder. While your morals are under attack. Sharply I dig the knives of guilt into your back. Yes, as every eye turns to the future, yours, remain on the past. Arguments […]
