divine density

*

every

thing is

energy when 

you reach for the stars. 

clouds appear to be an obstacle but 

draw aside like open curtains

to make way for the 

dancing in your

                                                                                                     eyes. Blinking back 

                                                                                                star dust is       the gravity             

                                                                                              struggle of               enduring   

                                                                                             light                                     years

                                                                                              to     reach      your     radiation.

your skin matters not to me
I would rather feel your mind.
gently unzip my eyes to see
the flowers that you find.

field life

The snot on my hands is indistinguishable
from dog slobber but I'll wipe it off just the same.
These hands are magnets for unwanted bacteria.
Does it strengthen my immunity to such things
that make me question why? I can't
make sense of all these things
that happen to me like
falling books.
I peel back pages revealing green;
unreadable to the eyes.
      My fingers do the looking and
      I let my tongue taste the text of life.
      My immunity falters no more.

weather vane

I am a victim of climate change. 

The atmosphere keeps changing and I all can do is adapt. 

I'll plant my seeds and wait for them. 

The weather reads its memoir to me 

and it's not until the wind whispers by

that I see myself in the clouds one moment 

and in the rain the next.  

I'm in Seattle one moment and

Hungary the next. 

My mind is a garden. 

A curiosity of color and dirt; 

a jungle of fruit and weeds

showered by sun strength.

I am a victim of life. 

The wilderness expands and all I can do is stride.

I'll plant my seeds and then plant some more.
