Poetry Series – Death, Mustard, and Rorschach

Sometimes it’s subtle but every day, here we were, just finding beauty in what could be someone else’s mess.  What do you see? Call me crazy but I guess that’s the perspective of it all. DEATH, MUSTARD, AND RORSCHACH The year everyone died all at onceYou would sneak condiment packets from the break-room drawers andContinue reading “Poetry Series – Death, Mustard, and Rorschach”

Poetry Series – Intention

My years of becoming have been more an unburying of the time-capsule that is me. Digging up all of my best parts, dreams, and beliefs. Unboxing them and marveling at the discovery. For some time, I’ve kept the memory tucked away safely but now, I’m ready to see. Intention Write your desireDetailedIn the middle ofContinue reading “Poetry Series – Intention”

Poetry Series – I’m learning too

I’m releasing myself from writing as an obligation and allowing that writing is what IContinue reading “Poetry Series – Three Twenty”

Poetry Series – Observation

For a long time, I refused to be around anyone when I started to spiral. Maybe calling it a spiral sounds back but that’s likely because it’s associated with downward rather than revisiting. I’ve been spiraling for about 8 days now, upward and learning but spiraling nonetheless. I considered closing myself off from absolutely everyoneContinue reading “Poetry Series – Observation”

Eyes Black, Heart Attack

The second time I admitted myself into the hospital, part of what drove me there was not understanding the strange things I was starting to experience. I thought, certainly, that I must be going crazy. I still don’t always understand what I’m seeing, hearing, feeling – but it’s gotten a bit easier to allow myselfContinue reading “Eyes Black, Heart Attack”
