Featured Poetry
Mutation Me
Four leaf clover mutation me
Small and crouched in grass
And weeds— a pot of gold
At rainbow’s end and cereal
It told me so: to score a goal
I’ll trample them in turf
And if I got my wish
So wasted with a hug so frozen
Side to side and never knowing
More than lone star campgrounds

And I love me
A small biome
Grasshoppers on
Commuter flights home
We make forts
That no one’s storming
Plagues of angels scratching
Swarming at our doors

A Symphony If You Can Hear It
I’ll find my way
To be the wonder
To conjure to sing
In windows over Paris

The roof slants across the room
And tin chimneys with little hats
Join in the merrymaking

My throat is nothing
But a tuning fork
The clouds the chorus
My hands flutter across the room
To kiss the cats nose
The song demands it

And red tail hawks are learning
To fly like me, together
We cacophony, dancing
At the center of the world

We’re the mirror
The armies of movement
Wolfgang hits like this
You hear?

How did we find
Ourselves so deep
Inside this labyrinth?
Where?

We sit and watch the walls shift
Tell stories about the sun
And how his day is going

And sometimes
I stumble
I Skin my palm
And sometimes
We fight tumbling
Down grassy hills
Us Jackies and Jills

But the sun
Still paints
Its set for me
A symphony
If you can hear it
And a bed lit
With street night lights
Where I close these smiling eyes
Listening to you drive by
