New Addition

Aurora Borealis Drinks from a chalice On a guilded throne She chews her bone And at night she sleeps On silken sheets A princess so sweet No one minds where she pees …at least as far as she’s concerned

Spring

The night is ours The sky in the spring of the forest glows Where fireflies light our way into the distance Dense with the scent of lilies and birch And a creek burbles unbroken as gentle winds blow Night in the meadow Scent from your skin Whisps of your hair play as the gentle winds…

2020

At three you’re taught to care. At four you’re taught to share. By five you know to say nice things. By six you learn to play pretend. You sing and laugh and learn and love. But life and words cause damage such that kindness turns to weakness. Then to show one grace becomes a sin….

Smile

Every second of existence, Feared Loathed Abhorred Healed only in the moments when I see my children smile.    

…Adine….

With the moon and all the stars at dusk Whispering cos they know exactly just what it was A sense unsung;   For the life and all the world to see Unsure of what it is you feel from me I fear, you see;   The heart that’s bleeding black blood tainted thru Can’t show…

The blazing, life-stealing green fire danced like tendrils of smoke, hypnotic…

Pinocchio

Sweet and precious wooden boy You’re nothing but a hollow toy No words or voice Though thoughts explore What makes you you or something more   Sweet and precious wooden boy Who’s nothing but a hollow toy You wish for things But please ignore They’re out of reach and far off shore   Sweet and…

Rainy Days

I miss being a kid and looking out of the window with my father at the storm clouds as they rolled in just over the horizon, darkening the sky and bringing with them a rush of adrenaline as my skin prickled and the hair on my neck bristled. I miss the feeling of my heart…

I’m so tired of trying to sleep Honestly I’m exhausted What could be the harm, I wonder, In just staying awake forever Watching the world pass by me Dreaming with my eyes open  

Message from a Trans

Click. Click. Click. A flame sparks to life. Blue and red and gold. Burns the blade of the knife. Flick. Flick. Flick. Grey metal turns to black. It chars as it heats. And I hold my breath back. Shh. Shh. Shh. The sound of searing skin. Slide the blade across my arm. To keep the…

Song of Viridescence

The kiss. A dream So real it seemed Your eyes are greener than the trees You make it possible to breathe And to the stars I’ll run with you Your are the earth I am your moon I only hope you feel it too Remind me why you love me. Who With lips that burn…
