today I should have gone
to the sea.

and instead their bones
could have been wet sand
I crushed in my hands
and sadness
crooked shells
washing up
onto land

waves. I waved. I gave
what the tide takes inside of me

today I should have been
at the sea.

burns

lips burn from a cigarette
which burns like a love
which burns like internal embers
somewhere in the fiery red
that sounds like an engine
roaring through the streets
a crazy animal
with wild salty eyes that say
enough, enough

Like a peppermint..

Gee, but it's hard when one lowers one's guard to the vultures
Me, I regard it a tortuous hardship that smolders
Like a peppermint eaten away
Will I fight, will I swagger or sway?

I will fight, with a rock'n'roll swagger
holler like Jagger
cut like a dagger
and sway
the masses.

My only struggle with blogging

is this expectation of
explaining and summing

everything up in a white square

How can I explain when I see

the world so differently

when there are just so many things

to talk and feel about and share

on this early morning

my mind is a carousel

a spinning wheel

it is the girl with asthma

who still ran faster than all the boys

faster and faster

but is it ever enough

let them be ashamed and confounded

that desire my soul

let them be turned backward

and put to confusion

that desire my hurt.
