vibing with the music
hoping to have something to speak of
something of which to write
to spite
the depression coming quite
quite
quite
quickly
short poem day

the desire to simply
sew
stitch
embroider
do nothing with my time but extend the things i do with my hands
it is strong today

i have so many questions i want to ask my Grandmama
and no opportunity to ask them anymore
(i desire stories/
multitudes of stories/
i’d take them from strangers,
but i really want them from
the folks i grew up with and
i’ll devour them whole)

sometimes you have to go back to your
childhood home
family community
to gather strength
and encouragement
to go out into the world once more

bumble bees floating
past
second story windows
and
surviving the cold spell
we
just got through
stay safe little boomble
October 5, 2023
the calm before
the storm before
the carnage before
the healing before
the learning before
the calm

yesterday’s worries
turn to today’s realities
and mostly we feel silly
for so damn much anxiety
September 15, 2023
just some
morning pages
morning poetry
to get the day going
into the wild
into the craziness
into the sad sad adventure
that is today
~~~
seeing
the babies
step up
to be adults
is great
is great
is great
to see
~~~
green left
maroon right
blue body
and yellow hood
a sweatshirt
for all
for everyone
to be
cozy cozy
autumn
~~~
i can’t really concentrate
today
and that’s okay
that’s okay
~~~
who knows
how much
is leaving my brain
and staying
in any one given moment
~~~
teeny tiny poems
for a big big day
wild
September 11, 2023
how lost
am i
that i don’t
feel things
except panic
~~~
stressing
less
than i probably should be
given
circumstances
but more
than i probably would be
without
anxiety
(are they related?)
(probably)
~~~
maybe
some day
i’ll finish a
whole big-ass poem
(but probably not today)

when will my longing
return from the
war?
[a poem of irony]
