The defiant girl
using lies and mental games
to face down an abusive, drunk man
- calling himself a father -

The confused young

In my dreams, people fly.

They soar and swoop
laughing, calling
to each other, the birds,
the sky.

They race the clouds,
then

The Missing Piece

Doubling back to where
I was just standing,
I forget what it was
that I needed.

My brain is working
overtime-it

Few tears will be shed
While remembering the one
Who walked among us
But was never really there

Intangible traces
Of mere existence

A Window To My World

Here is a window, a bearing of soul
Look inside, God plays the leading role
Through defeat and success
