Hu(e)mor Me
A poem about personal transformation, magical perspectives, and alchemy by way of unwavering optimism.
I’m tickled pink
In times of darkness
Laughing out loud
Even when I’m blue
When life confuses
And dims my viewpoint
My humor infuses
my sight with bright hues
Ever the phoenix
Reborn once I dye
My glasses rose-colored
from ash then I rise
Rebirthed is my soul
Emerging just like
Earth’s fertile black soil
Springs lush verdant life
I laugh with my body
I dance in the rain
My aura stays golden
When all else is grey
I bathe in bright rainbows
To soak in their promise
To splash in the vibrance
That gifts me my solace
The source of my strength
When joy is a figment
Is the essence that shades
Our lives with with rich pigment

Where there's Art there's Heart
Here's a stupid thing: I adore art, but I start to panic whenever I step into a gallery. In the one place I should be at my contented best - surrounded by walls teeming with creative expression - I fall apart. What ought to be an enriching experience, tacitly designed to facilitate the exploration of human empathy and perspective, is for me an overwhelming purgatory of anxiety that compresses me to the point I cannot breathe. At the same time, I experience a sense of extraction, as though my head is being prized open to create a hole so big my sanity could evaporate. Somewhere between these two opposing forces of vice and vortex, I feel myself dissolving in a stream of panic that makes me want to cry; and I feel so daft feeling this way, that all I want to do is run for the hills.

When Amazon Says You’re a Disappointment
Yesterday, for the first Wednesday in months, I didn’t publish a piece on Vocal. Believe me, I wanted to. I had it all written up and ready to go. I was going to share the news that I had officially become a published author.
