So…I look away. “Tomorrow.” “Later.” “Sometime.” Never? “Oh Father, Your child is so lost—” I want to say— About— Someone else. So hateful! What is … Continue reading Poem | Apart

Poem | Waco
| Waco | Where the Magnolias bloom— Chip and Jo's shiplap-vision for their home. The Silos, gentle white pillars, catch the sun and Toss it through the windows of The church, Finely splintering light.

Poem | The Angel’s Last Step
| The Angel's Last Step | I am an angel Walking on eggshells— Walking on diamonds. And when I look down, I can see Myself multiplied in their sparkling faces. If I spread my wings, will I fly?

Poem: Rabbit Running
Not my best, but poetry is something I'm still getting the hang of. Sometimes I just like to write about something small. A rabbit hops Fears the fox Ears twitching, legs pumping Into the brush Fights the brambles Startles a starling, it screams in her face Free again Away from the lake No refuge there, … Continue reading Poem: Rabbit Running
