to Me Too

to Me Too

i was an escaped caged-bird flying confused, full-speed,
into an invisible window.
i was dazed when you, 
and you and you and you, 
picked me up and pretended 
to mend my wings and told me not to 
sing cuz my song was all wrong.
i have my own cage now, 
and keep the key just for me.

i was not made
to be laid
down without
a sound, move along 
before singing my song.

Stumbling

Stumbling

i’m a lost tumbleweed,
spreading seed.
i hitched to the mountains,
rolled with the trees;
now i’m hangin’ on a sea breeze.
i’ll play. i won’t stay.
the desert calls but i love waterfalls.
i don’t know where i belong.
that’s my song.

to Mr. Mean

to Mr. Mean

You’re deaf to your shrunken heart.
Your skill is to kill joy. 
Your art is to break a boy’s toys 
and smother his sunken dreams.
You look after your things and
hear only your drunken song.
You make a minute
seem an hour long.

Note to Who

Who knows what happened back then and way back when to everyone everywhere with every kind of hair, what’s Absolutely True. Who read what will happen after every page in the Book of What Already Happened and knows exactly what to do about Everything for All and once in a dream did sing to me a wordless song that i long to recall.

Crazy Brave
by Joy Harjo
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
by Chavisa Woods
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...

The God of Small Things

I heard Arundhati Roy speaking with Amy Goodman once on the radio, and was impressed with her passion and intelligence. Somehow I never got around to reading any of her books until now. I really enjoyed this one. It is great storytelling...
