Lost Seedlings
I came across
lost seedlings,
abandoned
in a musty bin

"And clover-cove
when
frigid snow
abrades

Writing Straight with Crooked LinesWould that my poet's heart could fly,
but an artist's anchor is his eye.

on the breath of hopes
a child’s love
is the love that’s born
to soar away …
and while we may
surrender our grasp to
grant them leave -
to press their precious
wings upon the wind
and chart a bearing their own,
we, in all our most

Surviving co-dependenceI’m done with co-dependence or so I say
I’ve burnt so many effigies for others
I’m the giver in my codependency
