  • Furnishings (Poem)

    say you are happy

    (you are) enough to do these things

    drape a grin across the chair

    wry to match the Midcentury mod

    be careless with laughter

    so it clumps like dust in every corner

    leave spare joy in the outside lobby

    for anyone who lacks their own

  • Kintsugi Dreams (Poem For Feb 24-PouncePunk22)

    I walk on debris,

    The detritus of expectations.

    I gather fragments to make kintsugi dreams,

    Toss them in the air, and watch them come crashing down.

    They add to the rubble underfoot.

    Thus it has always been. Thus it continues.

    I laugh with delight.

  • Wings (Poem)

    I want for you wings

    Seen only by you and those you choose.

    Let them be wondrously delicate

    With immense hidden power,

    Able to unfurl and carry you soaring

    On journeys filled with magic and delight.

    May they allow you

    To become a traveler of many realms,

    Unbound by convention and earthly concerns.

    As you glide through your days and nights,

    Listen for the trail of laughter and song

    That surely will follow.

    And no matter what might come,

    Ever remember that you can fly.

    (Written for R, also a poet.)

  • The Dance (Poem)

    Do I sit here in quietness and contemplation?

    I can do that, yes.

    But right now I want to MOVE!

    I hear the music and the beat,

    And my body says dance, dance, dance

    While you’ve got this chance, chance, chance.

    And I feel the joy and the laughter

    All around me in the songs

    Healing all the wrongs

    (Not just mine but the world’s)

    I want to explode with wonder.
