Gas stations; No gas

A mandatory evac

Let me beat Irma

 

INSIGNIFICANT

That's who i was to you

Now, what you are to me

 

The storm has past, but where's the rainbow? I see the sky is blue Ditto.  

 

No butter, no eggs

No milk, no cheese, no problem

I can still eat rice

 

Yellow balloons free

in the sky. Like my thoughts blending with cotton clouds.  

 

Colors, shapes, and swarms
Doodles, rasters, dots, boxes
Data plots are done


How can you live with yourself knowing you hurt the person who loved you?  

 

Sweating it out breathing heavily heart is racing I run again   


Round and round she goes
She will stop on someone’s toes
Circle of fortune


Eulogy --

I don’t want to think about

this ----



 

 

 

Sadly back at work

wonderful vacation done

watching time go by

 

I am confused why you act that way flooding then

withholding. Beats me! 

 

Yesterday your back

was turned. Now it's mine I won't look at you again

 

Vacation over
Calm, cool, clear, joyous free time
My brain resonates

 

Running away I

found myself I release my toxic past with you

Wanderluster

Lisbon Portugal

Estuary and ocean

Tagus river town

 

Raining in summer

Forty day flooding this week

Houston is flooded

 

Angry murderous night

Moon dripping in blood and tears

Cicadas sing songs

 

Time to look forward

Everything’s coming up roses

If you just let it

 

A familiar voice

And an unfamiliar face

Who are you kind one?

 

Temp tables keep dropping. And by a thread my

sanity is hanging.  

 

You left me alone

So drink till I drown

Tequila shots on my own

 

An owl singing night

Beneath a canopy of blue tears

Stars are living quiet

 

Your presence intoxicates me. Why now? I’m not ready yet. Be still!

 

Where do I go? Keep afloat,

Drift. In hindsight I’ll know

Why it was so.

Impossible choice:

Familiar stagnation,

Sea change and open doors.

 

Disaster strikes home

Insurance will not cover

What you don’t insure

 

I’m learning my heart

What I need and what you need

Are different things

 

Take this lesson now:

Change is staid companion

We will be OK

 

Pure or applied math?

Masters degree or BA?

Can I get a job?

 

Smells familiar.

Pineapples. Brings back a lot

of fond memories.

 

Heart is that you?

Bled till dry, now quivering.

Wanting to be let you.

 

Past menu – fried brain, charred heart

All you can eat sorrow

I am so full

 

From a dream to a

nightmare to another dream

And yet I’m awake

 

Illusions bring thrill

Will delusions I can chill

Let’s make it real love

 

 

Risen golden dawn

Laughter budding rose kisses

A sweet magic dance

 

Just doing my job

Making hard decisions

Duty and burden

 

The slow creeping ivy

Phoenixes dancing within the sky

Trees oozing with hues

 

A single white lily

In the folded hands of prayer

Monsoons of feeling

 

Flashes of white light

A rumbling in the night sky

Thunderstorm is here

 

Meghan is having

the same issue. Misery

loves company. Ha.

 

Overthinking, underdoing

Why left or right?

Just go move forward.

 

Do you taste better

than you feel? Beer and pizza?

Let’s Netflix and Chill.

 

Your birthday brings tears

Instead of cheers. Pure misery. Instead of bliss.

 

Day with fleas and stinky breath. I will say, “Eew!”

Of course, I’d still kiss you
