Song: Deconstruction - Indigo Girls

“And as for the truth it seems like we just pick a theory

Our daily lives
And backs us with #quiver and arrows”

a bizarre combination
dissecting the right keys
gorgeous rusty records
where crimson and clover
once stood in melody
as a nuanced harmony
spinning a viable thread
and all notes are not lost

As witness
On the day
The planet died
The moment
Clueless hubris
Morphed into
Fatal pride
Was no
Gentle #waning
We were here,
And then we weren’t
We birthed
Too many madmen,
Who left Earth
Bombed and burnt
#vss365
silenced
then used as a #ruse
to divide us
between what's right
and what's wrong
old tired song
blood stained hands
clutching homemade signs
whistles against tear gas
cameras against guns
muted cry of child
for mama
for papa
chained in a pen

hard drizzle pelts my windshield
wipers struggle to keep up
but there's a spot of clear
low in my hazy window
and a set of taillights ahead
- red and bright in the gloom -
the driver probably not even realizing
they're helping me find my way home
#vss365 #drizzle #poetry
dusk, and outside my window,
#drizzle gathers on autumn leaves -
tiny beads sparkling before they fall, each one catching a bit of the fading light
dusk, and outside my window,
#drizzle gathers on autumn leaves -
tiny beads sparkling before they fall, each one catching a bit of the fading light
The giants, made for the cold, walked the planet again.

all over the world
that no one could understand why
they looked for answers in the stars
prophecies
in the bible
and the quran
one day it drizzled
before the sun rose
we were different
hearts had shifted
within every woman
man and child
#drizzle #vss365 #poetry
Waiting to be caught-sung
Not tonight
Not tonight though
Tonight
I just want to hear the rain
Drum through
The nights
Absence of you

Once told me
BEST TO #BEND
INSTEAD OF BREAK
But lately
All this bending
Is bout all
That I can take
It’s time to keep
My back straight
& call out
The things I hate
Since my enemies
Are creeping
It’s best
I be awake
To meet them
On the battlefield
Cuz everything’s
At stake
#vss365
gait slow
with purpose
the last chapter of life
pausing to #bend
pick up a piece of trash
or scoot a little bug out of trouble's way
i don't know why she had this effect on me
the need to go to her
tuck her arm in mine
ask for the wisdom of her youth
then
she was gone

they seem to show up
at a time
when needed the most
then gone
like a wintry season
a voice that settles you
or a listening place
in honor of my friend George

this is so hard for me
news brings tears
I don't recognize folks I used to call friends
maybe its because Im a person of color
maybe its because my heart is heavy
maybe its self serving for they may come for me next
its tough the #writingcommunity gives me hope #trump

clings to the fields
a damp grey
that swallows
tractors and fences
I can’t see the chapel
or the dog
barking somewhere
behind the mist
all I can feel
is the cold
pulling at my cuffs
a crow calls
distant
unsure
and somewhere
a gate creaks open

always leads to the same place
safe, predictable,
routine, pedestrian
only when you
#veer off course
will you know
will you feel the wonder
the thrill of great adventure
innovation, discovery, originality
so why not just look up
and let the stars be your guide
