i rarely dream of people i know
in those occasions
i wake with the impression
of a love one or lover would be
i close my eyes and recall like a movie screen
the important moments
spoken messages
numbers
words written in gibberish
learning that only frequencies in sounds matter
i open my eyes with the valuable content
displayed on the ceiling
to decipher and foretell too
i awaken to my surroundings
accepting the fading of the recall
pleased with the bits and pieces
i re-member together
in my inner happiness of the affirmations
visitations, visions, building sub-basements,
subways, hidden apartment rooms
railroad tracks, passive gangs that guide,
lovers that hold, and new spaces
that let me know an end is near.

the Walk
beyond the scope
my cells center
prayer heals
i go lightly
to baba yaga
to the forest
to the waters
dropping regrets
as i walk
healing
along the way
along the way
i meet you

Choice
laid down late
laid on my stomach
laid on my arm
heard my heartbeat
what if this sound is the last thing I hear
what of my son
what is his base
I never want to make him cry
I ask my heart
to beat on for
i love and feel love
i recognize my choice in the matter
i choose to stay
long after his base
has been firmly planted.
woke on my side
woke way pass noon
woke accepting the rest
my heart needed to choose a new day.
