Shed Weather
Door sticks —
I shoulder it open and
the whole place jolts awake,
spiders scattering like dropped nails.
Jump —
a hammer clatters from the bench,
then I’m thinking of the time

I'm suddenly surmising
Trump, he plans to stay
Gets bolder by the hour
Craves absolute power
I don't think it's surprising
Time to leave the USA?
No point in criticizing
He's beyond analyzing
There is no compromising... [read more] |

Valentine.Buchannan. posted a new Poem titled Last thread 6 weeks ago
I started with a single thread
And twenty more fell out
Each repair sets more to unravel
I'm trapped holding the frayed ends
And it's too much
I'm tangled in it
And I hurt myself
Everytime I try to find my way out [read more] |

I'm going to see her
My beauty
My love
My reverence
It has been too long
My heart echos the waves I've missed
I will give her the names
Together we cut the ties
Water erosion
On my solid earth
Shaping me
Forming me
Into the women we knew I... [read more] |

I'm crying in my soup again
You let me down again
The circle never ends
But I want to be free
I guess it needed salt
Like you in my wounds
Crystalize me here
Never say another word [read more] |
Valentine.Buchannan. posted a new Poem titled Held 6 weeks ago
Somebody told me I was easy to love
Not once or twice
They said it until it settled into me
Floated over me
Until I stood in a coffee shop
Neck deep in old wounds
My reactions silenced
I lost myself in their eyes
I wanted to call them a liar... [read more] |
redbrick posted a new Poem titled slow turning 6 weeks ago
The stairs feel longer this year.
Nothing in the house has shifted,
yet something gives a small clink behind me
whenever a name slips loose.
A sharp snap in the wall,
and I tap the switch out of habit.
Mornings thin out.
The kettle... [read more] |
redbrick posted a new Poem titled decent 6 weeks ago
"Decent"
Not every path
asks for triumph.
Some just want your steady feet.
The ridge ahead
is nothing dramatic—
a rise, a dip, a bit of scrub.
Still, I pause.
Not for grandeur,
but for the small relief of breath.
Halfway... [read more] |

Those late night Jersey Transit trains
It’s always a gas
well past midnight
up to no good
at a Dead and Company show
Queens in the rear view mirror
departing Manhattan
riding that train
stuffed with other Heads
trying to get... [read more] |

joy posted a new Poem titled ALL THE MEMORIES MADE 6 weeks ago
I am sad my parents are gone now…
that off their presence I am deprived…
but I remain grateful for the memories we made
when they were both alive.
And on those days I begin missing them
when I start out feeling rotten…
I think of... [read more] |

joy posted a new Poem titled RETURNING HIS MEMORIES 6 weeks ago
In spite of all his hoping and wishing…all the hours he would pray…
he watched the gleam dim in his father’s eyes and his memories fade away.
Even after his light went out…and he no longer knew his name…
when he was now a stranger…he’d... [read more] |
