Reminders - Poem - 12/14/23

Circles - 12/7/23
Keep the circle around you smallmake it tight; give it armorKeep the world outThe stranger tells me it's the only wayand he's right and so very wrongand I’ve no desire to sway himone way or the other;it isn't my placeNo, I belong somewherecloser to the centeranchored in that foreign but familiar placewhere the first domino fellwhere this all began with a word-Brandon White

Daydreaming - 11/29/23
I've been staring at a quarteron the ground, tails upI've just enough superstition left to ensure it goes untouchedSome say we daydream to fill in the gaps we identifyin our realityI used to get a starfrom my first-grade teacherat the end of the weekIf I kept my daydreaming in checkNow I wonder what allof this would have been likeif they’d left me to my workI need to remember to go inside todayI…

Reflecting on This Morning - 11/28/23
I still feel a small rush of panic when nearing the endof a phone callNot that you needed to knowbut I needed a way in, so, here we areThe coffee’s goodThe coffee’s always goodThe coffee situation has been handledYesterday, I watchedhalf of a documentary aboutthe life of an artist I admireAt the time,it felt as if I was glimpsingsome form of freedomToday,it’s just another prison;all metal bars…

Happy Birthday, Dad.
The reminders sneak up on me now. I don’t dread them the same way, yet they remain razor-sharp upon arrival.
I’m trying to type this through tears, and I’m happy to say I’m okay now. That isn’t to say that I don’t miss you terribly, especially on days like today.
But I feel you now. I couldn’t before, but I do now. At the edges of my mind, forever just out of reach.
In my heart, I know we’ve…
