In the world we live in
the world we created
the entire food supply
is distributed
for money
only
What you deserve to eat,
if you deserve to eat at all,
is determined by how much money
a person has
in order to pay for the food.
Food.
Food grown from our own earth.
Our obsession is a disturbing common acceptance
that directly contradicts any compassion
we claim to exist with…
…and it must stop!

I am so intimidated by writing
there is always too much
and I feel too narcissistic telling you
the details of my day
the mountains and oceans
the quirks, heartaches and achievements

Aged romanticism
The relationship I know, one day, I will live in
The everything
I’ve read about, watched and believed all my life
That is what I want/will/have
What I think about, endlessly,
is the culture of personal sufficiency

I am staring out my window
into the black dreamlike calm of the ocean
the hush of the whitewater massaging my nerves.
Joy
The presence of someone I have nothing but an impulse about
Sorrow
The reminder that her intentions are on a stranger half a world away

Ghost drifters
Wind sweepers
Dream floaters
Space gliders
Flying dancers
Ocular faeries
Shiloh’s silhouettes
Visual silence
The warriors of the rings
The seducers of the sunset

What is it that I do?
What purpose do I serve by
extracting words from my mind and
laying them,
sometimes intentionally, sometimes carelessly,
in notebook after book for my own therapy?
A house exists, surgery leaves a healing scar,
but do I matter when I dedicate every day of my life
to writing my ideas for a very small few to read?

vulnerability
a weakness i wanted to share with you
i do not go far enough
i do not even push that much
when i create
i am always safe
there are words that i don’t dare put together
dances that i never take up a level
then up a level
then up a level
i have never dedicated my life to the studio
