Welcome to my modest, poetry driven website. Feel free to browse,contemplate and consider.

when these words fail it is easy to see, blame, forgive

but they are just words, aren't they dear? what in god's

old name is the problem in messing up some imagery

every now and then

and you don't know these words, not like i do

there are so many, so much, so long

and if one is wrong, another is always right

and i can jump, hop from one fence to another

until i sit perfectly perched on my own carved-out

ledge

 
words are so little and all that i own,

know how to barely, i'm-almost-there navigate

and i feed from them, make love to their possibility

plead with their O's, A's,

read me baby please

Word Riot Dec | 08, Re-think & Insomnia  

"poets lock up your words your tongues are all tied/ let it read in every history book that the poets all tried to lull us with lilting songs of a struggle to mountain up a notion/ocean that we were something more than animals"

Hawksley Workman, clever not beautiful
