He dreams Left hand spanning my rib cage gripping, releasing Fingers twitching, tickling I could wake him but he is safe I allow his sleep state to venture If the waters get too rough I’ll gently kiss him back to me A precious moment when a love falls asleep first Window cracked cool breeze caressing …
Total cloud cover no sense of direction 150 tons of steel dropping ten feet at a time Wild whiteout feeling as if the plane is rotating backwards Gripping arm rests speeding on sky’s choppy waters anticipating getting thrown overboard Eventually spit out into clear blues smooth sailing over a never-ending sea of cotton balls The …
Words Not just any, they must hold weight Thought out, prudently placed pulsating energy head to toe Not easily executed Not always received but I will not settle for anything less I love words, being moved by another’s, a miracle by chance Writing Giving my time, dedicated to a 6am rise where the mind is …
Dad teaches son how to prepare a raw chicken for dinner The same one raised on their land The same one he used to chase around wired fencing A young man flirts with a young lady as he helps her of the bus Magic seconds only they share A community clears a field of fallen …
She is evergreen A Ponderosa Pine arching over the Deschutes River cool water lapping toes She is an unfathomable height rooted but swaying Brushing surrounding saplings whispering her presence She is free Embraced by wind fertilizing land Helping others sprout new life She is the queen nurturer in a forest of struggling humanities Forever giving …
Sand sifting through fingers droplets rolling down arms Is it chills from cold water? or the surreal feeling of being home with free time Kissing Grammy’s flushed cheek Silk Smelling of sweet cream and lemongrass We are a team faced up against what seems like the impossible jigsaw 1,000 pieces, one always missing Eyes meet …
I know you’re terrified People scared of people Eyes meet eyes with worry Countries forced to rest While the world resets You were moving far too fast anyways So, this is it Time The break we didn’t know we needed What will you do with it? Does the dusty beckoning book ever get …
Steaming Matcha lattes getting cold as I drink you up I see your eyes creeping over computer screens letting me know not a drop of work is getting done Music blaring in headphones our thoughts booming louder Bodies moving all around us Blurry backdrop of strangers All I see is you This poem isn’t getting …
This one dropped me 3 feet from memory foam onto a red shaggy rug sweating viscous panting terrified temporarily shattered Wide awake counting specks on ceilings Why am I the homicide in my dreams? I closed my eyes and sketched you in my mind Each cocoa brown wavy hair dominant bone structure satisfyingly full …
I rode my bike downtown to a book convention today Ideal fall weather faintly breezy, lenticular clouds A Spanish infused live poetry reading black wavy hair and red cracked lips shared a progression of life Struggles, love lost, displeasures, evolving How one can return to the same place and experience it twenty different ways To discover …
Fractured light Ambient rays Everything can change in a flash And it’ll never be up to you Thinking you control moves in treacherous games Rolling the dice on life gambling your time Years of clouded vision Infinitesimal infatuations Fluctuating futures Stripped of treasures Jerked to rocky bottoms Beautiful mind Serene soul Metamorphic abilities to …

Sometimes I’m consumed by these urges I want to sprint headfirst and plow into city buildings tipping skyscrapers like dominos crumbling them to ground zero I want to clear the rubble and lay in the land that was there first Nice old-fashioned organic dirt bath coating skin tan with earth I’m not saying I’m …
Labored your whole life then pushed harder The world shifts in beautiful ways A budding flower vibrantly blooming aqua and violet gold dusted boysenberry veins shimmering, scattered, healthy, strong Climaxed at what seems like your full potential Darling, you have so much more left further to trek on your ascent to the summit This time, …

Remembering the 58 who lost their lives. Everything is still changing - We live in a city that continues to help each other, we love harder, we are more aware, more eager to help, and we have a sense of community that was never there before. This is Las Vegas and this is our home. …
