    LAUNDROMAT SONGS "How long shall they kill our prophets as we stand aside and look?”                 ‑‑ Bob Marley   Saturday morning, the scene's the same round and round suds and foam, round and round energetic flashes of life play, giggle, and roam.

  • CRAVING DESTINY

    “…… Our hearts and our minds
    they’re one and the same
    cause you are my kind.”
    ~~ Santana, featuring Seal (from the album “Shaman”)

    Long ago I came to see
    how I needed you so;
    how the gate and flow
    of your textured red legs
    would bend and go
    on forever filling my mind
    with world conquering adventure.
    Y…Read More

  • The Old Man at the Window and the Immortal Cats

    April 8th arrives
    with the hush of a page
    that turns itself.

    In the big window
    the one that frames the world
    like a painting too honest to sell
    an old man sits,
    chewing a piece of old bread

    He does not speak.
    He never…Read More

  • Atmospheric Compression

    sleep…
    we parted company…for the most part
    a while ago
    snatches of nap here and there
    but a full night’s sleep?
    …very rare
    disrupted by dreams and thoughts
    as I stare at the ceiling
    and toss

    maybe it’s only my imagination
    (but I somehow doubt it)
    the world feels…
    heavier?
    more dense?
    and…Read More

    • I think your poem speaks to something very true Willow. There is a definite compression in the air in these times (and for many for a very long time before this). But especially today, there is the feel of the walls pressing in, everything is hunkering down trying to find a safe place to live in. This is no way for human beings to live. -Curt
