• Glutton…

    they used to tell me
    it looks like I’m hunting trouble
    leaving them thinking I enjoy the drama

    I get it…
    I do
    I can see how it might seem that way to you

    but that’s not it
    I’m not chasing more of the same
    same shit different day
    I actually prefer peace and quiet

    it’s just…
    I’m used to my own darkness
    …my…Read More

    • Exactly Willow. Learning from one’s experiences is not SSDD, it’s growth. And this growth is internal and personal, doesn’t matter what others may think. But if someone is paying attention, this growth becomes obvious and welcomed. -Curt

      • It takes a while to recognize the patterns, but once we do – we grow. And nobody moves at another’s pace. Thank you, Curt

  • April 9th — The Breakthrough of Impossible Realities

    April 9th does not arrive.
    It erupts.

    It tears a seam in the morning,
    a thin, shimmering wound
    through which light leaks sideways,
    as if the day itself
    has forgotten how to behave.

    This is the day of breakthroughs,
    not the gentle kind,
    not the kind that whisper
    you’re doing fin…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
    as if time itself
    were something he could soften
    with patience.

    He does not speak.
    He never…Read More

    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

    maybe it’s only my imagination
    (but I somehow doubt it)
    the world feels…

    • 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
