cry heart

Cry heart

and see

once done is done.

Cry out

become one

with tranquil air

Release your longings

to the sky

and in

release

realize

life.

Cry heart

and free

the burdened sound.

purple fruit

purple fruit

eaten slowly

dripping

but not too fast! 

purple fruit

dropping

into

sweaty

palms

and tired teeth

bite

and are

relieved.

words and birds

words can't confine a bird!
he doesn't follow the rules
or the road signs.
he speaks his mind
in squawks and gabbles
tweets and chirps
without manners
social expectations
without words.
because words cannot confine a bird.

The Beginning

mysteriously enough,

I've never given the beginning much thought.

what will I say? how will I say it?

no, I let it flow like water,

black inky water dripping from my pen. thoughts don't come

till it's all too late,

and my heart's on the page.

bare and naked

unedited

what was I thinking?

certainly, not about the end.
