An Earthen Crown
A poetic revelation of the sovereignty to be found within
Spherical shores all indigo blu
A venerable whirling at a star's birthing
This devoted observer watched
From her solitary cathedral pew
Until an incessant pull from deep inside
Awakened the call to wholeness
To merge with this eagle-eye view
Required blind submission to her rainbow ride
To dive and be immersed in a watery land
Where tiny embers delightfully found lingering
At once lifted by scorched fingers from mountainous cauldrons
While timelessness shattered the hourglass sands
Rising from fragmented runes
Once invisible to the naked eye
And absent a golden partnered warmth
To encumber a forgotten and genderless sky
This feral soul inexorably now trusted
Reclaims her forever crown
Undressing the gossamer jewels once encrusted
Her true majesty finally found!

I've Just Realized
The President doesn't understand music. There. It felt very good to write that; it's some thing I just realized today. Oh , yes; he plays it. He TRUMPets it in rallies and meetings, pumps it across the airwaves when he gathers up our minutes waiting for his late arrival.

The Angry Man in Your House
"If you grow up with an angry man in your house, there will always be an angry man in your house" This statement has caused plenty of controversy online, people say its a statement that blames victims while also undermining those who break traumatic cycles to form health relationships... but if I'm honest now that I'm in my 30s it makes more sense to me than ever, and I'd argue that its not just about fathers and uncles.
