There is one thing
That I want more
Than anything beneath the
Tree but since I
Don’t have a tree
Maybe you will be
Standing outside my door
On that Christmas morn

I first started writing this blog as a way to refocus my thinking after a debilitating mental breakdown in 2008. Having been educated in writing, I had hoped that my love for words would have left a trail for me to follow and, well, here we are.
UghYuckBleh
Someone tell me why
I forget my nose
Until it is stuffy
Or why I ignore
My throat until it’s
Scratchy or my lungs
Until they are filled
With little green goblins
Ugh I hate being
Sick I am the
Biggest baby of all
*achoo sniffle sniffle cough
Aftermath
And now one week
After the shelling stopped
Seven days post Armageddon
Things are coming back
Nature has a way

Pounding and pounding and
Pounding its angry fists
But in the silence
In the deep sigh
Life slowly creeps delicately
Cautiously creeps back home
Much like love will
Once they are gone

A land of
Sex and desire
It’s lonely here
Here there everywhere
Cardboard and concrete
Coldness loneliness despair
Lots of rain
And snow too

Fun and play
But no bells
Ring heralding recess
Just the stomp
Stomp stomp of
Going from one
To the next
Always looking looking
And never finding
Firsts
What are the firsts
Of things called of
Things that before had
Been routine can the
Firsts of things previously
Known be anything other
Than normal what about
The firsts of things
Heretofore already experienced yet
Now proven different and
Curious what makes something
Old new again desire
Serendipity or maybe longing
For what had been
