Grace

Mother, eighty-four, took Uncle James for a ride yesterday. Drove her brother to the cemetery To visit Daddy and Mike. After, she called their flowers lovely, Then asked, "Where's Daddy? Where is my Husband?" * For the first time in fifteen years I dream of Mike, him driving up In Mother's big Oldsmobile, Then waiting. We talk, he nods. Now, I realize he has come For Mother. As the old ones say To take her home. I go to her Bed, grab her hand. I'm waking, Mother's hand cooling in mine. * April 15, 2009 Today, my little sister and I Will go to select a coffin For Mother. Eighteen years ago, I

Jay

Acorn wedged between bone feet, In awkward rhythm of white-tipped Blue tail, there, he precisely Brings his point of beak, and again, Again, piercing down; now, Meat the color of old mustard shows, And the big head tilts, the crest Lays flat, the slick throat shuttles. His bright eyes dart quickly about. If he had hands he'd rub his belly.

Blessing

My father strangled a bird quietly, calm as gravity, there in the garden. He bent as if praying to the torqued wing reddening his hand. The night hunkered down on the screaming wildness, on the kicking legs, the abrupt and awe-filled silence. I watched him watch the beak open, close, like rippling lake water. I loved him, the mercy of his heavy knuckles, the kindly indifferent expression. He closed the beak like a priest closes the eyes.

Still

He was waking or he was falling asleep, neither, both at once. This was a dream. This was the only thing he had ever known. It made no difference, he trailed his own body like ripples after a rock, smoothing and breaking and smoothing again. His feet moved tirelessly, without thought. No longer human, only the Walk was real. For minutes, or for months; time was fluid and distant. Walk. He broke and a low mountain pulled him forward. Smoothed. Broke into flatlands, into shallow water. Into the evening, into the weak dawn. Smoothed, back into the soft yellow lights behind his eyes. Walk. **** He was not alone. This thought came from his bo

Golden

“No nudes,” the tech said as he sidled up next to me. “What?” “Word from the top. No tits for aliens.” “You've got to be kidding me.” “Sagan's throwing a fit in his office.” “I might throw one myself. Might as well shove an Amish guy into space and call it good. What about birth? Basic anatomy?” “Seems fine.” “Well, I guess the aliens didn't need to see the Statue of David. Not like it's a big deal.” He laughed like it was the funniest thing he'd heard all day, or like it was either laugh or he'd never stop crying. Someone picked up on

Blood Brothers

Brookie always holds my hand when we cross the street. She's never given a reason for it, she just does it. It's become this unspoken rule with us that whenever we cross the street together, she slips her hand in mine and I lace my fingers through hers and we walk hand-in-hand until we reach the other side and she drops her hand and we both wipe our palms on our jeans. Brookie's a little scared of crossing the street. Her poppa died in a car crash when we were six. He was a pedestrian. She's never gotten over it. Brookie is my best friend going on sixteen years now, which is pretty impressive considering we're both sixteen. We don't h

Liar

~ "You're lying, Mommy" the girl with pixie hair mumbled as she skirted near the woman's side. "I never lie," Her mother responded as her hands ghosted across her son's hair. "That's a lie everyone lies, the teacher told me so, she says I lie the best, too. " Her eyes glistened with malicious splendor as she said the words being the best liar was a brilliant thing to be, simply perfect. "I never lie," Her mother simply repeated bending over to gather ingredients into the grocery cart. The girl grumbled, "Nu-uh, you're just bad at it." ~ "Tell me another Mommy!!" he screec

Does that make me Different?

I wear make up. Does that make me fake? I cry. Does that make me emo? I have male friends. Does that make me slutty? I smile a lot. Does that make me weird? I laugh loud. Does that make me preppy? I have anxiety. Does that make me a freak? I have Bipolar Disorder. Does that make me abnormal? I respect people. I change for me, and only me. I have a past, but I know I have a future. Does that make me different? Maybe. But at least it makes me Me.

Idle Hands Without Any Plans

Idle Hands Without Any Plans What a way to waste a day, Watching your own flesh decay, How divine, as you may find, Getting lost in your own mind, If I may share, you're quite the pair, That is, you and your despair, This routine, even unseen, Is constant and unfailing, (but) Not to fear, just rest my dear, Tomorrow is another year.

to the boy who doesn't plan on leaving

how much of me can you swallow, love before you finally purge? I am a cartographer of bad experiences; I can locate precisely where I see our divergence extraordinaire and I can tell you before I have even met you that the skin on my hands is too dry for the softness you plan on caressing me with. let me tell you how this ends; I will show you all the people I have destroyed - flooded to the best of my ignorance, driven wild with jealousy, had whipped with lust and left smoking pot after four promises stating otherwise. let me tell you how this ends; after showing you the blessed catastrophe it is to be human, you will destroy me. you may

free bird

it’s a need to feel the suns golden fingers teasing figure eights along my back, & the wind on my cheeks. i must have been a bird in some past life, a swallow or a hummingbird. because, i swear on some nights i can feel the growing pains of an atlas ready to burst through my skin like wings. i just want to be free.

A little bit of you

A little bit of you: You give a little bit of you everywhere, When you look at someone, When you share, When you enjoy , Being with that someone. You're special, Like everyone, But each one his own way. You're clumsy, That's your trademark, That makes you lovely, We always have to look out for you. Did you cut yourself? Did you forget your food? Did you bring your head? Did you trip on your own feet? The list is endless, But each time you hurt yourself, You give a little bit of you, To someone that healed you, To someone that helped you, To someone that caught you when you were falling. You might be clumsy, You might b
