b you b true

we fight the urge to be reclusive 

and elusive and we 

steady the emotional storm 

beam our sign 

irreverent into the heart 

of American darkness 

persuasive? i could give a fuck 

we are true we are real and 

pervasive

post election blues

you can find beauty 

anywhere

even in a swamp 

holdin on for dear life 

by a vine thick 

as a rope in the sand 

quick 

desperate

breath of life quivers 

like a candle wick 

afire ... 

lit

11.2

she filled the hollow with flowers
uplifting her mood
and when they struggled to raise their heads
she filled the hollow with water
and buried her heart
in the earth
