Grateful for friends and nonjudgmental ER staff. Feeling pretty close to my limit, but we’ll see what tomorrow holds. I can take it.

All This Wind
You shouldn’t be here. Not
with all this
Wind.
Tendrils torn
Sweeping loss, flakes of flesh
Bits pealed away
Steal away
up to the sky
This Wind.
Tumbling, stumbling,
skittering down the street.
Pressed to a wall, a fence, a tree
Brief rest before whisking off
rolling, tearing, crumbling
chunks of muscle
The side of your face
The heel of you palm
broken jaw
You shouldn’t be here.
Not with all this
Wind.
Walking
Will you walk through
And forget
What you’ve done?
Will you walk by
And forget
Who you lost?
Will you walk in
And forget
where you’ve been?
Or
Will you walk on
without us?
A Move to the Woods
I’d like to go for a walk in the woods
A forest
A grove
A riverbank
A valley
A wet grassland
A secluded marsh
Along a fallen log
I would find a tree and climb it
And sit for awhile
See the plants
The birds
The insects
The amphibians
The mollusks
The mammals
The reptiles
I’d live in the tree
Maybe just hug it
because it’s round
Deny
Creaking floorboards
Announce my arrival
Flickering lights
Announce my intent
Empty halls and silence
Greet and dismay
But I am
A willow
Bending back
But never snapping
And
A stone
Falling fast
But never cracking
Because I believe
