“Take some more tea,” the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.
“I’ve had nothing yet,” Alice replied in an offended tone, “so I can’t take more.”

“it’s very easy to take more than nothing.”

“What are you hiding?” She asked.
I stared at her. “What do you mean?” (It probably really came out like “Whaddayamean?”)
I’d been transcribing reports for Heidi, a rehabilitation nurse, for several months.
“I tell you about my family, stuff I’m doing, but you never tell me anything about you. It’s like you’re in the Mafia or something.”

Absolutely free!

Drives you a little crazy.
Rust–one of the toughest stains,
but all you really need
is the safer substitute,
a splash of something.
Swish!

Within the fence I limp
searching for my soul
past faded cones and
seeds still clinging to the tree
past algaed walls and
rubbled piles of loss
and buried dreams
a grendeled past
of fear
and shame.
And though I wear
the helmet of . . . → Read More: To Greet the God in Me

Love whispers petals
crushed on tongues of salty grief
that bleed a sweet red symphony
and rises on the wings of hope.
Words would just not come this month for Tweetspeak Poetry’s February prompt of red. So today I played with magnetic words and came up with these . . . → Read More: Sweet Red Symphony

I planned to skip today.
I mean, celebrating my birthday with the one who gave me birth being gone now two days shy of only two months just seemed–well, too hard.
I even stripped my birthdate off my Facebook profile so it could pass quietly.
I tried to share my feelings with one family member–perhaps not very . . . → Read More: Because it’s My Birthday: Horseshoe Lake (revisited)

Unravel the day
in solferino rivers
that flow to
Eden’s cor.
Unzip my skin,
unwrap lacustrine heart
beside the Horseshoe,
my world’s waters,

I held you captive in my sight
while evil fingers burrowed deep, and
I heard you crying in the night.
While you focused on the light
and pumpkin-apple deer stood watch
