Knowing me, as I do This won’t happen There’s no special alignment Of stars or planets for me For I am Worthless, apparently Not worth a little time or energy Always I try To make the right decisions But they always seem to be Poor in the end I’m haunted By sin and regret Just […]
beneath a blanket of stars I dreamsqueeze full soul-yearn lift my eyes to the dome lips quivering, a whispered prayer heart-vision tugs pulls the words right from my throat I-love-you’s like wending ribbons greens and pinks in starstream weightless I rise, freedom-firstborn rain on my cheeks, looking east I fly and fly and fly tara […]
