winter solstice

i exhale
and move this city to its knees
steps are stronger
than most days
if you could feel my breath
in this brisk air
if you could feel the illuminating lights
of unhidden stars
see the majesty of steel corridors against the art of the skyline
touch my numb fingers which are always open
the depth of my silence
i swear you would understand the language of my spirit

fickle

12/11

raining in L.A.

it even precipitates in heaven

karma finds me

can't hide, she says

when in rome

so i took off my boots

walked a little steadier

on this crooked path

fine lines

blurry, so i walk between

staccato with a voice to kill

i'll sing til i'm heard

in stilettos with flats in my purse

you like it complicated, don't you?

down to earth high maintenance sweet bitch

a tease who puts out

graceful with a touch of gritty

don't-leave-go-stay-run-yes-stay-stay

all in a single breath

i'm here today

and i'm yours

tomorrow?

i am not guaranteed

checked out

summer moon

i recall new eyes

tippy toes

reach and fold

lay to rest a feeling of was

warm breeze

now half moons grace soft skin

shake it

walk tall

checked out

yea i know what's his face said you cared

but he doesn't know how you used to linger

and now how you go go go

west winds

someone will make you pause

no she'll make you stop

but i need the same

two plays

a beat too familiar

you got a soft side

glad to have been acquainted

sweet, sweet boy

i won't tug

in this game

of war
