My Father's Daughter

My Father's daughter
My mom's mom
Careful words
Don't die 
Don't die
Aren't you glad I was Here so you didn't do it again?

Be careful what you say
Because they'll take you away
Put you away
Oh child 
be careful what you say

I'm weary of calculation
I never was much good at the Maths
Always too slow
The world is too fast 
For my pace
Always out paced
Shifting through time
when I was four...

How do you protect whats yours?
In truth
To speak in silence
To move in space 
To see through time
Don't get lost now
Come back
Come back

How ridiculous does it have to get?
Before we come face to face
Moody melodrama
Mysterious nonsense
Transparent capes
Dancing lights
No time was wasted

Anger dances
Rein it in
Rain it down
Come down
Come down

You are worthy
Because you are here
You are needed
Valuable as diamonds
Precious as dirt

Blah blah blah fucking blah
Dealing with shit
Quite literally teaching the ways of the toilet. All eyes on deck. Can I learn to stay here? Yes I think so. Ohhhh potty training. And the literal shit that comes with it. Off now to teach and to learn. Wish me luck!

Walking

hold space for complexity  while holding the line for democracy Small but fierce Go Walk now Hands in hands Love Peace No kings No tyrants A symptom not a solution We are the creators This nation Made by our consent Love Choas Conflict How to find a way out? How to break these patterns of violence? Three back Three forward Fourth in the middle Seven generations Sing They are singing Let's sing too Never been good at harmonizing But I'll carry a tune Carry this with you A calling Of hope  Of fear A blessing Another day Here  In my yard Swinging Singing Writing Hoping May the future  Be bright Be Love Be what it is May the past feel heard Healed May we be here in this moment Past, present, and future Walking together To mend Walk now Walk I wrote this poem before going to the No Kings protest in Salt Lake City. I sang Twisted Sister's We're Not Going to Take It on the way to meet friends. I was apprehensive about going with everything in the news. But it felt like the ...

Lovely Lady Mae and Miss Fix It

It blew in on the wind that day. A sweet, cold, spring wind. A wheel returning again. Listen. Remember the quaking of the leaves in summer? Listen. What a body needs to tell   Then the paradoxical refrain repeats One bright day in the middle of the night Two dead boys got up to fight Back to back they faced each other Ask the blind man he saw it too   Come all ye cloud people. You're too full of your self Time to rain it down The earth is thirsty for your teaching. Violent storms are coming Wither and weather Each to each other   Willows grow in wild lands Fed by rain, and gritty dirt. nourished by the earth seed blown in on the wind Root and stem To become earth once again   Rise up the metal of the earth Hard Strong unbending Make us tools to fight Back to back we will face each other   All returns All made and is unmade All is so really unreal   The she lives in the tween spaces That's where truth is None better None worse Grey lady   A thread in th...

Another day

Dervish dancing Laughter Good food Cowboys Little doggies Little boys Trampolines Spring Dirt Done and doing it Adventures My place  In your arms Plans Making Things Doing things Not doing things Laying down Suspended Crawling round I love you I love you Ahhh uuvv ooohhh I love this ground I love this now S words I live by the sword Oh lord Water fighting Shadowboxing Shaolin My love Your humor Word play Ahhh uuvvv oooohhh "The opposite of war isn't peace it's creation" Mark, my favorite rented character.  Winter thoughts in a spring season. Ahead, plan ahead. Stay now. But fuck, how, oh how? The now is a flux. Shifting and moving. Lack of trust creates villians of shady character. But just human. Just stage. Just a character. Whose laughing? Shits not funny! Except holy shit. Wow just fucking wow. It's hilarious how we bind ourselves. Blind ourselves. Then judge others. Eyes be sticky. Attention to the attachment.  End thoughts. Since the beginning there has been...
