All That Is Me
Cut me from the gristle of this world.Boil me up in a tall hot pot.I want to feel the drudge leach from bone and sinew.Steam every injustice from my pores.Cook me down to my concentrated essence.Steep me in a bold flowering tea.I want to drink in all that is me.-Melissas […]

Damn, I was cute today,full hair and heart,kickin’ new boots and beats.How would you describe my eyeswhen I’m riding this vibe?12:34 on the clock,I threw another bone,another bid for,I don’t know anymore.I can’t see what’s in it for me.That’s okay.The rain divined magic and theuniverse came through with a gift,the […]
Can You See the Forest?
The storm left a scar this time.The splintered debriscould be cleared and tossed,collateral in anaerobic refuse,forever gasping, torn and discarded.Or, we can graft and mend,consistent, reciprocal, androoted with growth rings,pliant to spring and summer, yethardy to fire and drought.I’ve dallied under the canopy,cradled the tender leaves,and dug my naked toesinto […]
