Writing Prompt #1


Writing prompt: "Write about your body without using bodily terms."

Result:

Deep, endless wells consume you
It is always what they see first
Or so they say
But it's probably my 
Wawa tree branches that grow wild
From my mind
Let your fingers climb through them
Kiss my molasses pit
On your descent
To my foundation
Nestle your cheek inside the valley 
Of my rolling hills
Land atop fertile grounds
That bring forth fruit
Feel free to roam these great plains
Until your eyes weigh heavy
With freedom
Feel the wind blowing from above
As my grounds expand and contract again
Breathing
Monophonically
The winds hum melodies
Dig into my grounds
Discover the dust that birthed nations
Where God planted
Life seeds
Where the sun bleeds its
Rays of beauty
See my two overgrown roots
That keep me standing
At times they get tired
Carrying the world's load
Bringing forth all life
Yea
It gets tiring
But they will never fail
With the help of your nourishment
Don't neglect my roots
They need you
Me
I stand strong and tall
And I still need you

SUNSHINE



dimmed Sunshine in my life.
electric yellow hues
cloaked in translucent off-black.
i need those rays back.
i once wrote of
horizontal stripes emblazoned upon my fingers
on my belly.
the blinds & the Sun did that.
there was a time i sang of walking into the Sun
& tasting possibility.
limitless.
kinetic.
infinity.
Sun was movement for me.
it was rebirth after repentant evenings.
it was spring summer feeling.
it was new love & old love
renewed.
it was spirit food.
i could close my eyes
& in my mind
grab a lawn chair for an up front view.
close up.
smile glistening with that summer glow.
words caressing my lips with that summer flow.
now where did my summer go?
even if my current mind was surrounded by june
my summer Sun would look more like the moon
hazy gray
or maybe powdery blue.
smiles now a direct relation of
tidal oscillation, phases, & amplitude.
nowadays it ain’t uncommon to see my
lips spread wide
teeth shining bright
while my eyes are singing the blues.
reflecting the light of dusk
in the deep rumbling hum of my womb
as my round cheeks
protrude rouge.
a drag in my shoes.
useless
circling blindfolded in search of a muse.
it used to be the stars.
in fact
one in particular
she and i had a most intimate kind of contact.
others named her Sun.
i named her Life Source.
and now all i ask for
is my life back.

restless


Need a life change
A revolution
Reconstruction

A transformation
I need a me change
A where change
And a mind change
And a now change
I need change
Expeditiously

I wonder how the sun shines in Rome.

Need love
A me love
And a you love
A how many ways love
Stu stu studdering love
A shuddering love
Timeless
Time spent reciting this love
For all

I need more saturation
Or maybe a different hue

Or maybe the old you

I need a face change
Same freckled cheeks
But with a new glow
Rouged cheekbones
Naturally
Searching for the laugh in me
For the rest that He's promised me

I just wanna BE


In entirety

joie de vivre


A day in the life of the
Italian designer's first name dropping
French chef referencing
Malaysian indie film viewing
1971 Rhine Riesling tasting
Scuba diving lesson taking
Academy Award watching
Fortune 500 board sitting
Spring vineyard getaway owning
Royal wedding obsessing
Urban nails are the new nude wearing
Private school blues airing
No Disney trip this year because the NASDAQ is down going
God is for the down-and-out moaning
My hair extensions are worth more than your house knowing
You lose as my wealth continues growing
American Dream acquiring
Folk...
Rich man makes heaven on Chicano-mowed Earth.
Bet he's got diamonds from horse-trodding the rocks in his dirt.

Haiku #30: Fat Tuesday



Purple, green, and gold
Bourbon jazz in St. Louie
Lips warm with Spring heat
