Meaning Silence

Meaning Silence

Freedom to fill
the void
with answers,
while imprisoned
in an unspoken lie
hiding in place
without a face.

i’m Enough, they say

i’m enough, they say

you almost erased me,
i thought, and it’s a re-run,
i remembered and removed
from my mind to put behind
what can’t be changed,
re-arrange my brain 
to be wise, utilize
the something, they say,
i learn each day.

a cat on a roof,
aloof,
a trickster, a hipster

Brain Drain

Brain Drain

i go to bed with
what’s in my head,
walk around all day
while my brain plays;
it rambles like a horse.
it even thinks it’s me,
but it’s not, of course.

You linger in my gut,
warning me about old news.
You hold onto sh*t 
you should release.
Feel free to fly.
Go fertilize some flowers.

To Silence

to Silence

my conversations gossip
in the ladies’ waiting room,
where the timeless door to
participation remains locked,
soundproof, waterproof, 
and bulletproof.
you are beyond reproach,
vacationing on my hesitance, reticence
and competence.

to Mind

to mind

You forgot who you work for.
You’ve been running amok.
You wake me with target practice.
You have endless ammunition,
but you don’t like division.
I’m back now; so just do your job
and then take a break, please.

i sail your sea,
navigating joy 
and misery.
you’re here 
but you’re gone,
touching me

Note to Whoever

Note to Whoever

said they want to tap that have at 
a first crack of        purity      surety 
and sent that girl down the road
tipping on  wobbly heels with 
squeals of spinning wheels
shady deals        touch         feel         kneel 
swallowing hollow pride
to       die       of       shame
playing by the rules at the mercy of fools
like you 
maybe one day you too will rue
the error of your ways and 
think of something else to say

Dear Tummy

Dear Tummy

They weren’t yummy, I know: the words Left Ear and Right Ear fed you all these years, and Brain too, but they weren’t true. You’ve been clenching miles of lies and unanswered whys, throttling feelings that Mouth refused to set free and let things be what they be. I’m sorry. You deserve a vacation. I’m going to have a sweet conversation with Me about it.

Ruminote

Ruminote

thinking is a verb
already spoken word
heard by your heart and gut
leading you to this rut
but you’ve been breathing
weaving, working, wondering 
this whole time
writing your own rhyme

I loved this book. I picked it up in the Albuquerque airport on my way home after attending my father's funeral. Ms. Harjo speaks eloquently of birth and death in the telling of her story of becoming the fierce poet and musician that she...

The Albino Album

This book was very interesting and entertaining. I found myself a little confused in a couple places about who the narrator was, with the story jumping around in time and among characters, but got the gist of it anyway. It is a window in...
