Obscure fragments
blurred moments
connected to tell
the story.
More pieces
more memories

What does it

pieces to

The Ring

Sometimes
I don’t know
what to write

words have curled
away
in fright
because
they
must
fight
pen testing
their might.

when it’s a
draw,
wounds
open
raw
signs of the unexpressed
reminders of life’s
see saws.

or a lose lose
both walking away
saddened
and bruised
sitting on a corner
drinking some booze.

Words will win
the pen finds ways
to spin
tattooing them
to the paper’s skin.

Unstruck

Hearts are like oceans
Shooting green light rays dancing
Back and forth motion

Barricade

Sometimes
I don’t know
what to write
seems like
words have curled
away
in fright
because
in order to be
on the page
they must fight
testing which has
the might.

Sometimes
it’s a draw
unexpressed wounds
unhealed
open and raw
reminders of life’s
see saw,

Or
it can be a lose
lose
both walking away
saddened and bruised
sitting on the corner
and drinking some booze.

And sometimes
words make the cut
but perhaps
its better if they
refuse
avoid feeling used.

Apu

The Andes sing a song
Perfected
by thousands of years
of harmonizing
The Colca River composer
Thousands of parts
combined to form one.
Blue sky audience
as the mountain
tries to reach it.
It plays in a cycle
llamas feed
humans eat
then both
nurture the Earth.
Lesson on how to
weather a storm
color melody
Listen
it’s lyrics spell
a symphony of strength.

Socks

Caterpillar feet

Warm protection

fluid cocoons

Nests for busy bees

Moment

Surrender to beat
Taste so salty its sweet
Long live king, lion

Metaphor

Rolling with the tides
Everchanging highs and lows
Flowing with life’s rides

Building block

Words, language atoms

Construct thoughts

A poet’s paint

Fossils, trace their roots
