I feel them howling.
too. We're far from home and need
the moon to lead us.

I left a hard boiled
egg out for the flies, because
they were hungry, too.

I feel like quoting
Destiny's Child, 'cause yo, I
am a SURVIVOR!!

Finger crossing and
clover leaves. Stars for wishing
and Buddha rubbed.

Dreams do shatter, but
into a bunch of pieces that
become other dreams.

The highway lights, all
fake yellowish-orange, are the
smells of my childhood.
I've felt particularly
quiet for all the talking
I need to hear.

I parked in the
shade of the sign, because it
was a hot, hot day.

The sound of the freight
train reminded me I'd been
riding the subway.
I think that I love
it. Especially when I
say that I hate it.

It's the sun. It's
always that rad, awesome,
crazy lady the sunshine.
I came back and it
was all exactly the same
and a bit different

Tonight I'll be restless.
I'll dream, but wake from the
dream and hope to sleep.

Reality is
the old men don't play the chess.
They just talk some shit.
Tonight I heard the
cicada singing with her
electricity voice.
What if somewhere else
to someone else YOU are the
ghost haunting their room?
I'm not going to
Hell. I could live there now. And
Heaven's all around me.

Howl at the sky. Howl
at the moon. Let your heart howl
at the everything.
I avoid a lot
of eyes, but when I see them
I'm hooked like a fish.
The touch of your skin.
The feel of your hair. The sense
of your hand near mine.
The clouds looked perfect.
Like they hadn't moved for
years or centuries.

Where the old wave meets
the new wave and the sand slips
out from under me.

There was a building
and another building and
somewhere there was sky.

The dragonfly buzzed
by her head. Lingered. Two
creatures living new lives.
Tears fall at the drop
of a hat, the turning of
a new leaf, your eyes.
It's all or nothing.
Crazy, sane. I wouldn't want it
any other way.
Excited/Morose.
Scared/Sure. Nostalgic/Hopeful.
Laughing/Crying. Sighs.

Against the backdrop
of the city she was like a
breath of fresh air.

I held the feather
and watched the breeze touch it,
thinking, "Where's this bird now?"
"Gotta make a move
to a town that's right for me.
Town to keep me movin'."

We're born in the wild,
wild at heart, we are the wild
child sowing wild oats.

The pigeon's fine,
but I miss the crow. I just
can't relate to pigeons.

The air outside is
thin and still. It looks just as
lonely as I feel.
Sunday, July 7, 2013
I wrote a poem
with the only time I have
while the children sleep.

The tops of the trees.
The roofs of the homes. The window
I look out of.

Today's haiku's brought
to you by the letter R
and the number 4.

The night is long, but
not long enough for I hate
to wake from my dreams.
Wednesday, July 3, 2013
Their light is soft and
floats up as if they were sparks
escaping the fire.

This haiku's about
the sky, because the sky's so
mysterious to me.

Each place you've been
you've left a little of you,
taken a bit of them.
