dragged by the wind off parched earth
a thunderous downpour

New Journey
on occasion she asks
to be taken over there
and thrown over
no indication as to where ‘there’ is
she just wants to be done with life
at times she would grab my hand and point with a huge smile
a finger to her lips, hushing me
she was listening as though she was a part of a conversation
and was trying to pull me in
I was to find out later this gathering included her mom, sister, nephew, my dad and some little girl she can never name
all are long dead
too bad I am not able to say
with any certainty that
I see dead people

What If..
what if
down the road in time
a look back shows a loss of mind
facts wounded, locked in a bind
rummage through states of mind
shows emperor clinging to his line
time reveals some knew these truths
chose power, stayed tucked in ruse

Little Things
Stomping through puddles
in my Sunday best
Sailing paper boats
in rain puddles.
Lessons on the smell of rain
“Smell that?”, she’d ask.
When the first plopping raindrops
hit parched soil.
Time taken for the little things,
never a bother
to my warrior mother.

Exploring
exploring begins
for this springtime butterfly,
barely there blooms hide-
just a lone dandelion,
no mislaying this spring lure
