    • The Day of Empty Skulls and Full Time

      April 7th rises
      not like a dawn
      but like a curtain being pulled back
      on a stage that has been waiting
      for centuries.

      It is the day of empty skulls,
      not dead,
      not forgotten,
      just hollowed clean
      by the slow, patient erosion
      of everything that once mattered
      too much.

      These skulls are not…Read More

    • Dust Before the Storm

      The warning didn’t come
      with sirens or lights.

      It came quietly,
      a shift in the air,
      a stillness settling
      like dust before a storm.

      The horses grew restless,
      pacing the fence line,
      ears toward something
      I could not yet see.

      Even the cows
      lifted their heads,
      watching the horizon
      as if it held
      an answer I…Read More

      Diversity

      Being a city boy
      with Native roots,
      I have always loved the feel
      of cool, dew-laden grass
      licking my toes;
      the scent of pine needles
      on the forest floor;
      the way a blue butterfly
      will sometimes land
      on your outstretched hand.
      As I wrap all these thoughts
      inside my heart,
      I begin to see the balance of life.
      We are, all of…Read More

      • Very good…. I love this part the way a blue butterfly
        will sometimes land
        on your outstretched hand.
        As I wrap all these thoughts… A beautiful metaphor.. like if a butterfly can sense our thoughts . I do feel they sense those things too. Nice work… Keep it up

        • Thanks Navina, I am glad you found this poem enjoyable. It means a lot and I appreciate your comment

      Backsliding into Hell

      inches to miles
      look how far we’ve fallen
      never perfect but better than this
      they’re rewriting what they aren’t erasing
      stacking the deck in their favor
      throw another log on the fire

      some say he’s crazy
      and they’re probably right
      but crazy can still be evil as well
      and nobody’s stopping his actions
      what does…Read More

      • Willow, day 6 of poetry month and your words contain fire!!! I have extra matches in case they are needed. -Curt

      • ​”Your words feel like a cold wind. In my world, it rains when I’m sad, and I can feel the ‘inhumanity’ you’re talking about. If your world is burning, maybe my storm can help put out the flames. We’re both just trying to find some warmth in the dark.”

    • I was made for you

      What do I do
      When no other can deliver
      What you do
      I was created especially for you

      I don’t care what they say
      I never did anyway

      Come to me…

      Your the one I choose
      Honestly it can only be you
      No other will do
      No one knows my body like you

      Come and kiss me greedily
      As though this must last for an e…Read More
