“never end”
fingers dance
up and down
6 strings of
possibility
strum without focus
to start
then press fingertips
into the hurt
and hold the chord to
never end

“obsession”
if I’m lucky
I’ll die with
satisfaction and not
the whimper
that’d make me yet
another cog in life’s
obsession with
itself

“little stories”
if you look
with enough care
& skill, you’ll find
little stories
written everywhere
by authors with
proud voices they
didn’t know they had

“monsters”
I’d love to break
you free and steal
you from your
yellow house covered
in yellow wallpaper
where you sit trapped
by monsters
in the walls
who’ve convinced you
you aren’t you

“Possibility”
May you find
many days pregnant
with possibility, but
not all of them
because, come on,
we got shit to
get done

“Your Own”
You’re not theirs
You’re not mine
You should be
your own
But can you
when the lies of
greed & positivity &
productivity
keep you
blind to yourself?

“Dance Floor”
rolling hips, hands
riding harmonic waves, &
feet hitting every beat
mean that
every floor is a dance floor
with the right music
(which might be none) &
the right partner
(which might just be you)

“Limitation”
recognize for one moment
that the tireless fight
–the only way to
upset
the balance of power–
is impossible
for you or you or you or
me
to accomplish
alone

“Hope Pt. 2”
The light that never
dies isn’t just hope,
isn’t just love;
The light that never
dies will only ignite
when love transforms
into strategy &
when hope evolves
into work

“Hope Pt. 1”
they say hope
will always
spring eternal, but
doesn’t feel like hope
has much kinetic
about it these days
beyond dripping desperation
from bent & broken backs
