The Human Drive

I’ll sit & watch…
The smooth gentle sway
Of dune grass ruffled wind
Feel old fear
Melt through waves
—Warming blood & skin

I sense the ocean calling here
That conscience sound within
A love that seldom seems to fly
When driven to just live

Target of Crossfire

Hurricane like bomb
Razed home we found, framed, & wired
—In tent bullets rain

 

Twerk Interrupted

Drunk girl slips
Mid-twerk on bartop
—Grinding halts.
Patrons gawk…
Her get up sloppy, mocked, filmed⁠—
She rumpshakes unphased!
