So, it's been a LONG time since I have put anything up here, but I haven't really been in a writing mood (I guess). However, things kind of sparked today--I'm going to blame this on my dad giving me extra strength pm's and the coffee that I drank--the weather helped too (see first two). Becca got me back in the groove. Good day, overall.
Half-Tone, Whole Picture
uppers at downers
the head swing-sets
at the day's downturn.
Chocolate dipped
2 parts per whole
spitting brown—bitter.
Fluid rush.
Views long exposed
at turns, when air
pools into swaths
painting each intake.
Feel it all around you.
Descend at leisure.

Static
Waffled nose from
pancaking the screen
to get a whiff
of winter's rsvp
after a long break—
fast is the embrace.
It redials
grocery store moments
at 6, leaning in toward
cooled meat and breathing deep
as it blisters outdoors.
Even after the crest
of two decades
still scaling
white mounds.
Always,
it will be
a child.

I did this one for a good friend of mine.
Fox in the Tall Grass
Sleeking its way,
grass combs her
sides, gentle and lush.
Bit by bit, through gaps
she graces those attentive
few. Know what is worthy
and all she offers becomes
valued. Time, a needed affair
among drowning excess.
Her simplicity reveals
her beauty—all coveted.
Now, the grass that hides
mirrors those moments away
pushing to follow
but I settle—warmed.

this one doesn't have a name... it's probably not done actually... don't know why i'm putting it up here. Incentive for finishing maybe? Classic case.
Paper,
swirling bits—
inner cores
all gravitated.
To war
d'offense.
I've focused
too hard
to hard
the ends.
~tm
let's hope that this keeps up.
love.
