Cicadas call now,
10,000 steps to nowhere,
“Will I find myself?”

I stop. This moment
dances on petals–my heart
unfrozen freezes.

Blossoms, Diedré M. Blake
Let me hold you now
as sakura blossoms fall,
welcoming spring.

When Now
Trees will remember
our failures, centuries
passing like seconds.

Yesterday and Today
I walked three miles
under a red umbrella,
shading summer’s heat.

Through Layers
Where is my voice now?
Buried in the yard, howling
through layers of dirt.

Memories of Dirt
The woods became cars.
I no longer hear the birds
outside my window.
Should I smile more now
or less because of progress?
Summer burns my feet
as I walk barefoot
on asphalt, trying to live
memories of dirt.

Black drops
Cold black drops, rain now,
cry now, then sleep, dream not, cold
black drops, cold black drops.

I often wonder if, where, when it is okay to tell my story.
A rabbit, or anything
It’s a strange thing
no one teaches you to be
or calls you human
from birth, as you die
I wonder if it’s alright
then to be a bird,
call yourself Sparrow,
maybe then watching rain clouds
wouldn’t feel lonely.
You see, I was born
to a regretful summer,
or at least Thursday.
I’m sure I cried,
or laughed, then learned to stop
among other things.
I wanted to be
a rabbit or anything
other than me.
Only one question,
unspoken, fills the seasons.
Will I be human?
