to look all my faults
straight
               in the eye
as it does to Stare Them Down ...

And So It Happened
Concentration stolen
from page to face
each storyblurred
shockingly aware
chilling hopes ...

Away From Here
I saw the trees, and the grass and I saw hate across the field, in a
house. I saw the clouds, and the wind and sadness along with
wonder.

The rows of cars seemed endless, and someday, ...

Chamelco, Alta Verapaz, Guatemala, C.A.
Light, innocent rain barely falling
Wafting like feathers floatingdown
From high clouds in a gray sky
And I'm inside
My eyes closingslowly ...

Laughing at me.
"Why can't you write something?
What's wrong with you?" youask
In your tormenting voice. ...

complete with worn-outclothing ...

Like leaves borne upon thewind,

Scattering the grimmemorials to death. ...

You only talk to me about things thatare not of any importance. ...

I will never in an introduction,
Have to describe asexualreproduction,
I will never be asked in an interview,
About my opinion ofCardinal Richelieu,
I will never be asked to write a thesis, ...

Muse
Her back was tense
as she flicked her fingers
over the page,brushing away
the crumbled remains
of an eraser. ...

It brushed a sky thecolor of peaches.
The neck of my black woolen sweater constricted,

Sea Flower
Swaying
Enraptured in a trance
The fickle embrace of thecurrent
Push ...
Pull ... ...

Steaming hot chocolate
burning mouth
taste buds thrill
insides warm
Goodmorning
late Autumn ...

The Wonder Within the Monster
A monster, enveloping the world
           Causing
                      Insecurity

Unbreakable
Outside the frost sparkles on the hard lawn,
the trees are bare andthe wind nips and bites at any exposed body part.
Winter is in fullbloom.
But inside my head,
where it matters most, ...
