Throughout my life, I’ve romanticized the animal world; I wished I were a bird so that I could fly and go wherever I wanted I wished I were an ant and thrived in a social and purposeful society I wished I were a pet cat and slept comfortably wherever and whenever I wanted while the […]

Whatever he is
My lover’s so far away again flashing through a bike ride down lonely lanes, streets, shrubs, paths… The clouds are heavy, and the skies are bleak again I can feel each cell thrive and shrivel in my body I just want to be naked and sprawl on the great green grass; get kissed by the […]

The death of sacred things
Tropical forests
are where we evolved from and forests are fundamental to our physical and psychological well being. They’re being depleted ruthlessly by greedy corporations who partner with governments to produce sad stuff, to sell us sad stuff for profit so that we can buy it, get hooked on it– to be less sad? Don’t buy it–break […]
With you

Bleeding green
Can’t get myself to cry …it’s been over years… over something that’s left this samsara the memories blur and dissipate to the ground I’m trying to knock myself alive cry a little more, scream a bit love a lot but I’m left dissipating too; dispersing with the winds themselves trying to attach to whatever that […]

Furs, feathers, skins, and bullfrogs

Platonic volcanic love
You and I are butterflies; you love her; the trees, the mountains, the air, the grass, the leaves, the flowers I love him; the trees, the mountains, the air, the grass, the leaves, the flowers Sometimes we cross paths And love each other
Changed caterpillar
Forty days and forty nights
Presence; butterflies, bees, bugs all over plants
Finding life in the cracks
Stomping on spongy tree stumps
Bug crawling on my leg
Hey, it’s okay… no one really gives
You may think your problems are so big and life consuming, but it’s really not. It’s actually… well… sort of laughable. I mean, the bees don’t care; they’re out there buzzing around with their little wings. The wimpy little cloud glides by casually like a cool snail across the clear blue skies. The cicada is […]

Throughout the history of mankind, how many times Have people seen the sun Through the tree leaves
