It’s a sad day when your dog no longer has interest in jumping on the mini-trampoline with you.

It’s a sad day when your dog no longer has interest in jumping on the mini-trampoline with you.

Glory

is a word

only the heartbroken

know by heart.

Don’t google your name.  Ever.   

Don’t “search” for yourself

on anything that glows in the dark.

Don’t let your beauty

be something anyone can turn off.

Don’t edit your ugly out of your bio.

Let your light come from the fire.

Let your pain be the spark,

but not the timber.

Remember, you didn’t come here

to write your heart out.

You came to write it in.

“A LETTER TO MY DOG EXPLORING THE HUMAN CONDITION” 

wonder/woman

I wonder why I rarely feel

like my full self in the presence of most men.

I wonder if most men would hear that

and feel unwelcome in my presence.

I wonder if I have spent most of my life as myself

or most of my life as a welcome mat.

I wonder who is wiping their feet on my heartbeat.

I wonder how muddy my own boots are.
