Non compos mentis

and my verbs can no longer talk straight —

and nouns fall flat on their faces

Listen to the colors

2025 March 16th2007 January 7th

Purple is the soul-lifter
Red, the flame of passion
Yellow, the light of warmth
Green, vibrant stem of life
Pink, a whisper of beauty
Orange beckons, take a chance
Blue is the sea tide in us all

Do I write grief or is it writing me?

2025 September 5th2021 January 20th

I write all these death poems, these grief poems —
and does it really make me feel better? Or am I just
twisting my heart so that I can feel, to remember?
Because I’m afraid that if I don’t feel, I will forget.
