She Didn’t Know Why
But having family around her felt validating.
(Adrift In Hilbert Space – Ott)
(Learning To Stay – Michael DuBois)
Sure-Sure
The Sure Win
I’m the type to be all-in
When stakes are high
And they say it
Can’t be done
I just need a
Place to begin
And worthy prize
Worth championing
Wisdom Bits From Hell’s Travels
When senses return to you
Carefully roll over to a better vantage
Pick out gravel from stinging wounds
Rinse them clean if can find water
Scrabble if you can to next levels
Even if only inch by inch
Dragging your broken carcass
Laughing maniacally
After the fall
Baring your teeth aggressively
At scavengers and predators
Letting them know
They’ll go down with you
Until you can make it to higher ground
Where the grass is green
And flowers are blooming
As birds and butterflys and other creatures
Evidence proof of The Garden
And you can begin to reclaim
Your humanity
Again

And Maybe One Day,
She wouldn’t have to do everything on her own, anymore…
And Then One Day,
“She could walk just fine, again…”
(Right Here Waiting – Richard Marx)
Feline Obsequities
“To a cat, money nary crosses the mind.”
Huge Charlie Horses
I am trying so hard, here…!”
(Oh MG lower hamstring seizing painfully as if it’s going to tear itself off of my leg – WT?!)
Dear Alex,
“What do you think it is that I want?”
“Back To Back”
“Sleep Over”
“Draconic Eye”
Knock It Off
The fact that it is
Accepted fact that
We must be careful
Of human predators
Is a fact that needs to
No longer be of impact
Elegance
Motor scooter skate board with handles
Coasting by at speed, right thigh exposed
A young woman in evening summer dress
Golden-yellow fabric undulating behind her
Reflections
I respond according to
What I’m presented with
(Happen To Me – Russell Dickerson)
Insult To Injury
“I mean, at least it’s more on the right side…”
(Toe shredding = new ways of discoordinated limping.”
(American Boy – Estelle)
Blood Price
“It seems that when attempting to overcome great barriers and move onto better realms, the Gods of Chaos extract a blood price.
What is this twisted alchemy, and how can we better appease it?”
(Family losses and my big toe just got shredded)
Maturity
It isn’t confidence but
Learned experience
That allows wisdom
To hone more true
(Fix What You Didn’t Break – Nate Smith)
Playful Endeavors
He was feeling disconnected and unsure about everything, wondering if he had made the right decisions.
Passing by in focus to keep managing things, she diverted, caught his eyes, and lightly paw-slapped his face.
“Naughty Wolf,” she teased him.
And with a flick of her tail in his direction, set off again.
My Love,
“My heart beats for you.”
Two As One
As two become as one
Love’s blessings begin
That’s not to say
Life will be easy
In fact, sometimes
It gets even harder
To the point where the pair
Might doubt bond’s sanctity
I don’t know what to advise
Except stay on the same side
And you will come through any
Challenges with love beside you
Hummingbird Delight
“Orbis Sanctus”
(You’re On My Mind – Tom Misch)
Lacking “Norms”
There is no consistency that
I can rely on in these injuries
Zones are identified in variations
That intermittently work or worsen
Which keep putting me back into
States of great anxietal insecurity
Because I never know what I can
Count on in performance abilities
Add onto this that in trying to heal
New injuries occur in shift-adjusting
And their effect upon limbic systrm
Is like treading minefield explosions
Periods of “maybe I’m safe” occur
Then on into new crisis responses
(Bodhi Mandala – Desert Dwellers, Drumspyder Remix)
How It Feels
It’s mainly the lockdown
And warning impingings
Telling me my body
Cannot do as much
After already having
Pushed beyond limits
I’ll still get up and try by
Calculated workarounds
Dear Alex,
There are no words
For what I’m feeling
The trust needed
To rely upon you
To allow you to
Take on weight
How could I even give or
Know what to ask of you?
Provid-Ence
Being as it has all ultimately
Been up to me to guarantee
I only struggle harder now
For even smaller advances
Which honesty creates panic
When limbs need down time
New Patterns
It’s all I can do to
Step up to the old
If We Knew Cause
“Could we rebalance inharmonics?”
Indian Elder
He asked me what I thought to be cause
I presented him with nature’s inbreeding
Could he thus then have any compassion
For a race that murdered for propagation?
Transmissions
We must
While we can
So they can find us
And learn of our truth
Before all
Is lost again
(Rain – Wildlight, CloZee Remix)
Like Clockwork
Gears designed
Define purpose
By rewinding
Time ending
Linear effigy
Dismantles
Freeing Man
And Woman
(Gosh – Jamie XX)
Oh My Gosh!
“How would we even begin to
Address the myriad minutiae?!”
Must Be Said
Waiting in bed to let
Body catch up to self
(Color Of Your Soul – GRIZ)
Lag
Recovering from work efforts
Vs.
Networking for more marketing
How It Works
Brief momentum
Dissipating relies
Upon regatherimg
Strength to push
