Stay still, don’t spill,How many hours of different ceilings I’ve stared I couldn’t say,Body straight, you travel,burning, reminding. Don’t be upset,Don’t get anxious,Because like an ear to train tracks,It listens, It scouts, they vibrate.Like a conductor in symphony,It points, it waves, they play. My bittersweet reminders,How many must I have?Through pain and challenged vanity,I SLOW,I … Continue reading Stay Still, Don’t Spill

Let it Rest
I took you out and admired your "so-called" perfection,Brand new, vibrant,I was curious and excited about all the places we could go,All the memories we could make, But everything new gets old,And it's the endurance, The aged authenticity that makes us grow in our relationships with ourselves and others,And while I aged with scars and … Continue reading Let it Rest
Dethaw
It’s true that the body keeps count,And in this moment I was reminded.I was taught that lesson of how deep it efforts to keep us safe from what we can’t bear.And I suppose in this moment,Alone in the middle of Thailand, While being massaged by a sweet stranger, It was time to face the void.Silent and stiff, … Continue reading Dethaw

"Margaret, just ring me when she's done paying and we can get started," she winked at me. I missed my last appointment and I don't blame her for … Continue reading Sliding Scale Therapy

Flat Tire
I was on my way to his house when I started feeling a consistent thump on the rear right side of my car. I pulled over next to the cemetery and got out - flat tire. I had never fixed a flat tire so I sat on the curb for a minute and called my … Continue reading Flat Tire
Scotch
My head pounded from the scotch when he called me at dawn. I wished it were one of those mornings that I woke still drunk, thinking I’d fooled the booze. Not today. "I’ve fallen in love with someone," his voice was deep and stern. As if this hangover couldn’t get worse. I thought about rather … Continue reading Scotch
