Keep looking forward
Resist backward obsession
Growth is my focus

Leadership
Stare into their souls
Nurture to magnificence
Grasping their true being
Suffering’s silenced
Dreaming in daylight.
Seeking suffering’s ending.
Our primary force: love.
A zombie haiku
A kind of love story
Two sets of legs
Intertwine.
Caressing gently.
Passion, absent
Love.
Hard skin
Rattles against
Touch.
Consummation
Culminates
With consumption,
Destruction of one.
Each pair of legs
Re-divides, eight
Alone again.
Winds
At once both fearsome
And calmly reassuring.
Strange duality.
Equinox
Retreating darkness
Light now slowly reclaiming
Losses of winter.
Barren
You rage against me
Simply because I exist.
Windswept barren sand.
Within the heart
Strange torturous song
Delight, anguish born anew
Without it we die.
Girl’s Life
Girls spendÂ
Much time
Debating their lack,
Chewing their soul
With vigor.
Always some fault,
This culture determinedÂ
To keep their place
Defining them
By false
Inadequacy.
