Drifting without knowing what I am doing. I need to switch who I am—change characters. This Coffee Pot place is sweet and full of energy, but it’s just a little vortex.
Hells Kitchen – from Port Authority, to here, is filled with the dregs of New York City.
Before noon today I experienced the pleasure of walking next to a prostitute on 42nd street—she was dressed…

Beheading the Phoenix
I’m sifting through my computer – looking for a workshop I created in 2012. I came across this journal entry. I was 31 when I wrote this. Two years before I married the man I was dating at the time I wrote this.
My 30s were a time where I turned my back on myself. I fell into a trap – unconsciously – of believing I was old and had to let go of certain dreams. All I wanted to do when I was a kid…

Where the dust doesn't settle
Wish I Were the Earth
Wish I were the earth
could open my mouth
and swallow the blur.
Turn a wail to a purr
in my warm dark house
if I were the earth.
A natural re-birth
on deep stable ground
if I could swallow the blur.
Wouldn’t leave me to murmur
my pain in your couch
if I were the earth.
A place to clear hurt
to quiet loud sounds
and dissolve the blur.
Fear turns to dirt
when it is found
that…

We are okay.

Do you want to be cremated?
Yes.
Do you want us to scatter you with Heather and Grandma in the garden with all the animals?
Yes.
I said are you going to…

dream journal 3.27.2024
Papers
I am safe. I am warm. I am alone in this bed.
I was dreaming about sleep in my sleep. In my dream, I recognize I am doing a good job.
I let myself wake up without an alarm clock. I know the sunrise will wake me.

paper scattered like white doves.
I am arranging details about my mother with my…

Dark poets, please dance with me - by John Coyote
This is a response to Writing Prompt 205 – Dancing with Ghosts written by John Coyote. I love when people make poems from the prompts!
Dark poets, please dance with me
I am dancing alone at 3 am with the Pacific near.
I am dancing with ghosts I have befriended.
Once alive, now they join me and they whisper to me.
Dark poets, please dance with me and I will tell you tales of greatness,
I will tell…
