Goodness It’s been a minute....but here. I’ve been writing, but in a “this is difficult” kind of way. I’ve been processing a lot so nothing is finished, but I had some of these thoughts today which I thought I’d share, enjoy!

Songs

These songs are like houses

where I find shelter

where I find rest

for lungs

for legs

for throat

in anxious pounding

in tired thoughts

you are independent

the one who

inhabits

but not constrained

cross legged

empty of answers

my lyrics run dry

here

a happy discovery

a solution in being

the unweaving of doing

[writewithme-cs]

Monsters

Can I see my monsters

with grateful eyes?

These ancients that live

deep within

the abyss

below the calmness and fragility

wild ferocity prowls

shredding overgrowth

that blocks and blinds

coming and going

against my liking

sustaining me in

the murky air

the place I abandoned

is the path leading me

to a clearing

in the trees

a light ricochets

off the darkest edges

of my adapted sight

illuminating another ancient

power

settling the light

absorbing

all else.

To Own a Melody

With clear intent among debris

you seek

even when grit climbs in your eyes

you feel with stretched fingers and toes

digging through decay

into soil - the composition of my cells

flowing with oxygen

shifting like waves

a gentle rising and falling

as goodness unwraps me from the ground

cradling my wilted back

dirt caked to raw skin

hazily

I hear your words soaking

into unearthed veins

they hum to their mother

and she returns a strong song

to my mouth - compelling me to sing

to sing from my grave

the very one I lay beside

always held in dying

unwinding

living

earthly matter

shedding from this form

bathed by my own melody.
