stripping off my skin
you try to vanquish again
while I smile & starve
my pen pretends
run sweet soul into the light

there you’ll be free
of a burden you call me
shadows I write
tried to carve a legacy
yet languish as I lose what #matters

my fight for life

soon a final bow
life’s tribe is from womb to tomb
your #health is your arrow

On this #NativeAmericanHeritageDay ,
I think of my ancestors, and I am humbled and honored to be
their #MemoryKeepers…

Dear #BraveWrite #vss365
#PoetryCommunity & ALL,

I’m #learning #Thanksgiving 
isn’t one lone day. It’s every priceless moment we have the privilege to grace this earth,
risk it all for love,
be a poet against all odds…

I thank you for being here!🪶

Love you,
Aspen🕊️

Running to escape time
How insane
Humankind
Turning
Churning
Burning
For what?
A dime
Chained to a clock
Tick-tock
Tick-tock
One #number after another
All in Death’s circle
Line up
Fill your cup
Life starts
Uh, where?
A place few ever go
That breath called Now

You Matter!

MANY OF US ARE NOT ‘FINE’…

The #business of not being able to afford health insurance or food is real today…
Know, you aren’t alone:
-I hear you
-I see you
-I am you

WE
ARE ENOUGH
AS IS…

Take me into your arms
Let me burrow my head
Next to your heartbeat
I need to let go
Cry
Scream
Shake
While someone I trust
Holds me up
Doesn’t judge

A You
Willing
To be
Next
To me
As
I try
To
Brave
A
Way
Through
Another

Standing on my sky
Chance hangs in our atmosphere
Slipping through time

Dimension’s doorways
Revolving evolving dissolving
Walls that held a we

Until #unearthly urges undulating
Your rhythm with my rhymes
Such surreal sexual syncopation

Now Coming As One

I am the bolt
Of lightening
Striking jolt
So frightening

I am the you
#Undertone of me
‘Tis true
Time to set free

I am the light
No longer there
Be brave & write to fight
Soar Freebird from shame’s lair

I am the We
One voice
To be
Or not to be

Our Choice

Friends thought she was brave by not flinching when they made up ghost stories~talked of creatures like #piranhas lurking in the water~or being afraid of monsters under their beds.

They’d think she was a coward if they knew why she shook after piano lessons.
