a storm



it’s all about breaking you it seems
the way it comes from various directions
       at various times.
it’s all about catching you off-guard
how it appears to calm and resolve
      pretending to normalize.
though
there is no normal to ize...
and there is no calm...
that does not precede a storm.

shaped by affliction



as land is wrought through
erosion,  so we too are…
shaped by affliction

the stage.


she said
    “can you make an evil laugh?”
i said
    “yes… but it will hurt”
took a deep breath
   and let it out
   let it all go!
       muhuahahahahaha!…ah..ha..h.a…a.a.a
    fell off the barstool
    onto the floor.
thoughno one caught me…
     or broke my fall.
they all laughed vociferously saying
    “we thought it was part of your act”!?!
i thought silently for moment…
  then...
  someone extended a hand
     and helped me
     back
onto the stage.

a whisper of you

as the day slumbers
within each pulse of the night
a whisper of you
