Laugh Abandoned

By

You used to laugh 

with abandon

With me

Around me 

Throw your head back

Mouth open

Hazel green eyes 

closed

I don’t experience 

that

Anymore

I have to believe

You still do

But I am no longer

In the privileged circle

The pictures I have

Of your laugh

Of your beautiful

Beautiful smile

Hurt me

MVP

Dear Diary

By
 I'm reading Brian Eno's diary, which is just a day by day journal of one year in his life. In it somewhere he lists his idea of some of the things he is, in the form of I am... and then each of the things he considers himself to be are either a or an.  So "I am creative" wouldn't work, but "I am a music producer" would.  I quickly closed the book before I read his list and began writing my own, which I may or may not share here.  But I wanted you guys to think about creating your own list and think about sharing it here.  Maybe I'm an optimist to think you might be interested in doing so, but really it might be fun. There might even be some overlap! And don't worry, it seems only two other people would be reading your list.

River of Gone Words

By
 Another trek to the river of Gone Words Another sack of snap-backs One more time of packing it down To throw in and be forgot Another bunch of words not said Another expression stillborn on my tongue One more bouquet of complaints Tossed into the River of Gone Words Another wish sent to drown Another desire to let go One more urn of the unspoken Sacrificed to River of Gone Words This is safer ​ This is best These are better left unexpressed

Joy of life and math?

By
Dabbling in joy fever curious I am so forever young but just now plotting my lifeline x-axis anticipating the positive intercept knowing pain will sometimes overlap the y-axis of joy and wonder. the x-axis is fixed, the y-axis is not, forever sits at said intercept on the x-line the plot a mountain silhouette stretched along the flat x-plane, peaks were the second derivative is zero and none is the number to come.
