If Ahead I See – Robert Okaji
Gray skies filtered through light,eyes adapting space,the possibilities of the horizon or a footlashing out in reflex,what do I learn? The house finch sings as ifall air will expire at song’s end.

Ouroboros —Erik Shinker
Do I just reiterate the same sentiments? Over and over and over again. An ouroboros devouring himself in an infinite, revolving wheel. This serpent’s tail is more venomous than its teeth.

Slow Love – Reaching Joy
https://reachingjoythree.wordpress.com/ Let’s not listen to any music, let the lyrics come on their own. Open the door. Let the birds sing. The ground sweat.

End of the Rope – Ali Grimshaw
https://flashlightbatteries.blog/ The rope winds gently around my waist,twisted, smoothly strong by years of mistakes,trying again, doubt and wondering how.

The end of this rope was handed to meContinue reading “End of the Rope – Ali Grimshaw”
