Letting Go

Unclasp borrowed burdenRelease shame’s leaden cloakWasn’t yours to carryIts weight that nearly broke Your back to curl tightlyTraps hardened taut with dreadStrapping skull to shouldersPosed stiff to stare ahead Disrupt dark disorderLet fall before the dead Undress under starlightCool air to bring releasePrickle each pore aliveBathe burden with belief Your back unfurls slowlyShoulders lower to… Continue reading

Blog: 14 Days, 13 More

TW: mental health, self-harm, suicide flavored stuff Reading between the lines of my blogs and poetry, it’s likely apparent if anyone is reading that, given my choices to take control of my life, I have endured something like 3 solid months of painful endings. My group of people, most whom I thought better of, made… Continue reading

Blog: Moving Mountains

I have another two weeks where I am, with no plan yet on where next is. This should scare me into despair or drastic action, as it would have prior; though uneasily, I’m following instinct each day to find my feet, while leases prefer more lead time. The abundance of choice and lack of direction… Continue reading

Blog: Storm Clouds to the East

A harrowing work week has come to an end and looking up from two back to back 12 hour days that went from 4am to 4pm I realized – oh, I’ve been here a week now. It hit me while cloudgazing outside of this temporary sanctuary; unusual winds pushed the storm I awaited north and… Continue reading

Blog: Spanglish On the Dock

I met my temporary neighbor today; outside on the porch, my dog barked and approached someone unseen off stage left. I no-no-no’d her lovingly and turned the corner to find a gentleman supremely startled by the prospect of her enormous bark, despite her typical furious wagging of joy and love, all while he tried not… Continue reading

Blog: Into July’s Slip

The last leg of the journey complete, I’ve docked for the remainder of the month – pending my work insisting I head to Germany for a few weeks this month or next. My only real concern anymore is the well-being of this sweet pup who has been so brave to make it so far from… Continue reading

Blog: Dialing up the Bon of the Voyage

Trying to build the life I wanted has required several new levels of intellectual, emotional, and intestinal fortitude that the prescribed, expected, and safer path I was on prior did not. As I make my way on this journey from grand master Tower moment to Phoenix risen, I hope to share a tidbit or two… Continue reading

Blog: The Cut

The house is being fixed up and shown, and I have 3 carloads, 3.5? To make 1. The end was a mad dash to just box and bag, clear surfaces, and make room. Last night and tonight, I’ll be musing on the last choices, what really makes “the cut”, what can be left behind or… Continue reading

Blog: Home

Before I leave a place behind, it’s important to me to feel it wholly. To understand and experience what it is, to know what letting it go will mean. I’ve always said goodbye and thank you to the places that have sheltered me, however temporary – hotel rooms to states, even cars. Everywhere I’ve even… Continue reading
