Sing with me January 23, 2012

I don’t really understand the sadnesses we walk away from stolen and silent we are afraid of even ourselves and when the lights change and we start going again where can we go without our whole hearts? The world is a sullen river and the worst parts are all the pieces we won’t admit to [...]

easy December 27, 2011

Everything is a constant motionless moving, this life, its bizzar brigade of star lights and time, this night is fine with its last light lines, and I am ready to be open, even in the unknown and broken, lies, are only the untold pains of our forefathers, and mothers, and lovers, and we are only [...]

the trees and i October 2, 2011

Gentle creatures, the trees With their long delicate branches And paper thin Leaves They wave their fingertips in The breeze And when it rains They feel The crying right down to their roots. Who else can hold All the wildest winds in their arms? Strong creatures, the trees. I saw A plane fly overhead once [...]

brairded hare September 4, 2011

You are beauty and you remind me that I am Love i adore your story your emphasises an Emptyness I hear there calling your perfect picture composure standing stillness and the groping energetic epiphanies a recognition and a wholeness emerged in the syncropic start of an assuring steadyness a likeness similarly engaged inside your face [...]

Bicyclist Exposed May 25, 2011

I am the sunlight Playing With the wind upon the water Reaching from lake shore To shoreline And touching every surface I am still going I am scarred landscape The mile stretches of city Strewn over forest and prairie And I am rejuvination pushing Up between the cracks Of brokenness And growing And If you [...]

Turn May 25, 2011

Beauty turned her head and looked at me today. With those perfect eyes the Red-tailed Hawk can catch squirrels from the sky and stare into my soul. It did. And reminded me of my passion which is the hawk’s passion and the tree’s passion and yours perhaps if you are alive. What does any living [...]

The Spring April 4, 2011

There is a deep hurt And my inner canyons are reeked with blood And loss And sorrow And crying Is the only way I can release Such deep theivery Pay back such a big Dept The only way to be unbreakable Is to bend Like any tree in a storm Who wants to survive And [...]

The Color Red March 8, 2011

You are a stick of dynamite I’m tiptoeing around Trying not to ignite And burn us to the ground You are that powerful (the thing is so am I) Once or twice I saw you Rapid and glowing- With your guitar in your hand And your voice filling that big room, Or once when you [...]

Finally January 18, 2011

They said Everything is okay with your heart At the doctor’s office (we think) But I told them How can you be so sure? You’ve never been in all the rooms I’ve boarded up Stuck like clogged arteries like rush hour in Chicago like America fumbling for the light switch in some dark hotel room [...]

Twilight’s Favorite Color December 31, 2010

Hello world, I love you and this beauty I wish to share- It falls off the back of the archer Sagittarius in the sky dropping star light. Only after… It skirts around the edges and the meanings of hills in the driftless where the color of connecting and dividing is born. It waits momentarily, transcendental [...]
