making magic 

standing underneath a streetlight dim artificial glow rain falls around like glitter and when the light hits right you are floating within stardust darkness  like a warm blanket  hugs the sidewalk barely seen tree outlines lean in close and whisper good ideas to enact later i write them down i go (to myself) oh that…

visualizing purple clouds

seeing the infinite landscape stretched out before me cloud lines along the distant mountains  just a scribble on the paper in purple bleeding ink soaks into the page and down into where the mountain meets the water can you see it in double vision? as something from within your imagination, a picture within the mind…

boldness

ambient sound louder  more intrusive than previously timelessly aligning  and at the end of the day new dawn mornings of one thousand beginnings and the plants seem to remember  but it’s been a while it’s been a while hesitancy and masked frustration no one wants to be caught not living up rather a sideways life…

itch

the light within her hands

in her cupped hands closed yet through each line in between  fingers warmth the light shining through  making her hands  appear as if glowing red slowly  she opens her hands revealing the light inside  and it is a gift from somewhere so mysterious  you could say  far off it is a gift she’s given us…

scent of rain

The Real World – Theater Edition: Get It Out

Barbara Jwanouskos, putting it out there. My mind races constantly. From what I’ve gathered, this is pretty normal. It’s filled with so much stuff that I can have trouble focusing on any one thing.
