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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …

Four failed attempts to attend and the fifth year set itself up with little to no effort - friends found the ticket, gifted camping, and arranged carpool. I drove seven hours straight, traded spots, fell asleep, and woke up at 4am at the entrance into The Playa. The dust was surprisingly soft as I laid …

Caked in alkaline Dust in peculiar places Neon bleeds tangerines kisses Suspended bouncy merry go round Seize a garment if you can Disco roller rink, electric lemonade Big rig hammock pumping ten Enclosed trampoline realm Metal lustrous structures Finicky steps to summit Lone escapades learning to say ‘yes’ Sip the Playa’s decadent nectar Surrender to …
Existence is magic It’s a beautiful time World of wonders I hope you catch a glimpse Don’t let it pass by The good old days is the saddest of sayings True heartbreak lies in time lost Steal all the seconds breathe them in Inhale experiences like fresh air gasping for more as if your life …
We have allowed countless minutes hours sections of days slip away to underserving miniscule irritants. What are these silly little occurrences stealing smiles? How do they hold this much power over our lives? Breathe in Let it all go one exhale Take the wheel straighten out hit the gas see it fade in …
Where did I find you? Paranormal powers Flipping tails on my worst days Melting every nerve Just the tip of the iceberg A winter wonderland lies below Kisses on the back of the neck Rescued from nights terrors Sea of white Smile creeping Sun spying through blinds Am I still dreaming? Breakfast at …
Rolling open space Sandstone crumbles beneath feet Watercolor stained hills Bleeding pinks Purples Yellows Twirling gusts Rosy cheeks Tan frosted mutt Older than he knows Challenging Steep Unforgiving inclines Playing chicken with nature Unwilling to give up His puppy ways One misstep could be fatal Unaware But he is an animal People encounter …
Let’s eat dinner at the dinner table Phones in the middle silenced face down Let’s play outside screens powered off Roll in the grass sun kissed Let’s give our time away to others Float in only one universe tuned in lost in the moment Let’s say all we feel without a wasted …
