We were fixed up.
I could have sewn a patch on your ripped jeans
but I like a few frays on my knees
I might have been able to remove a glitch
from your hardware
and cracked a world problem
in the Sunday paper
but technology is expected to fail
and your words weren’t easily untangled
I could have secured that button on your shirt
so it wouldn’t fail you
I could’ve mended that shelf
so you could place your trophies there
Maybe you should get fixed.
I may tidy your hair
so your hair doesn’t cover your eyes
I might edit your speeches
you know how to turn a phrase
but you spew lies
and I don’t know how to correct those
I’m a fixer.
nevertheless- I can’t give in to another fix
my eyes are unwaveringly fixed on you
you are continuously fixed in my mind
yet you are fixed in your position
fixated on your life’s path
I can’t fix you.
Not in the way you want me to.

I want poetry in motion
from sun rise
until the stars blanket the sky
tides of freedom
crashing upon the shores of youth
climbing trees and skinned knees
watery eyes
patch me up
send me onward
to Grandmother Willow
and Master Oak
sun shines on me
heal my heart
sew it back together with rays of light
wind whips through broken spirits
but it can’t cut through mine
you can bob along
or swim to the shore
drown or save yourself
grab onto the rising sun
it will bring you out of the shadows
splash your face
with the diamonds floating in the sky
emerse yourself in the night air
there is no division between
sea&sky
the roots of life
in the depths
the buds of being
extending toward the infinite
no segregation
just massive blue
sprinkled with light
sitting on the branch
of my Family tree
the view is clear
beauty for miles and miles around

a fly buzzing in my heart
swatter in hand
flicking away at the pest
thats trapped in the caverns
a fly leaps across my soul
lingering over decaying fruit
crumbling with the passing nights
melting under the fury
i’ll dive into the windshield
squash my guts
splatter on the glass
blood oozing
crushed by the pangs of love.

an elderly man came into the bank today
he sported a black baseball cap
that was clearly too big for his noggin.
his wrinkled skin hung off his cheek bones
but he had the sweetest eyes
and a kind smile.
he was relatively short and soft spoken-
the picture perfect grandfather figure.
“good morning”, i said.
“hello”, he replied.
and he did something
something i did not expect-
he tipped his hat at me.
never in my life had i experienced this first hand.
i had seen this gesture in movies.
and read about it in novels.
but a man has never tipped his hat at me.
it seems silly that i should even care
but that quick memory resonates with me.
i realized that the caliber of men nowadays
does not compare with those in our past.
at least i think that’s how i see it.
some men today don’t know how
to hold open doors or write love notes.
some men today don’t know how much
a kiss on the forehead means.
some men today don’t understand that women
have real expectations and that is why love dies.
so thank you, sir
for tipping your hat at me today.
i don’t know your name.
i don’t know your age.
i don’t know your story,
but you’ve had an effect on mine.
please tell your son and
your children’s sons
to tip their hats.
that’s the gesture we want.
don’t let it die out.
it will mean the world to your son’s wives
and their children’s wives.
help happy girls inhabit the world.

storm
the rain pours
thick droplets of tears
drown my sorrows away
so i can shine again
and the wind gusts
it whines and howls
take me far away
so i can bloom again
icy hail sprinkles
on the black empty pavement
play me a tune
so i can dance again
thunder rumbles
shaking to the core
wake me up from my nightmares
so i can daydream again
lightning strikes
splitting the atmosphere
shock me back to life
so i can live.

drunk sea of independence.
sad. craving so much
yet attaining so little.
so minute in the deep ocean
of desperation.
