The Things I Still Do for You #napowrimo #NaPoWriMo2026 #GloPoWriMo #poetry
rube to rub it bauble bright
here words are lickers
howls and idolatries/ telemetries of insistence
dug ditches for gated riches
pray here this breath
a turn towards morning
like a carpet of evening stretched
finding wear we are i
instrumentalism during solar maximums

14 - The Waiting Room
Where are you waiting?
In the waiting room.
Why are you waiting?
Because we hope for what is to come.
What are you waiting for?
Whatever comes.
Hoping it doesn't.

13 - Waiting
Time has become a vice.
And every second twists the screw a little further.
Time has become a rack,
where every minute stretches out the nerves.
The waiting is never over (we even wait to wait).
Until it is.

12 - Trust
These days we walk in strange and unaccustomed paths,
with alien plants and soporific scents.
We know the route.
We’ve seen the signposts,
and we hope that other people know the way.

11 - Sharing
You have become a glass being.
A transparent shape of greys and shadows.
I can see your outlines and your workings,
and the secrets you keep close,
but not what they mean.
You don’t wish to share.
You never wish to share.

10 - The Way of Things
Sunlight.
Daylight.
Day.
And today the sun is almost welcome.
Trees grow straight.
Dogs run fast,
and we still have hope.

sacred wombs
Einstein-Rosen bridges appear out of thin air
all will be portrayed as a plot against America
even libraries will be portrayed as such
because at our core reading makes one wonder
and a wondering soul
gravitates towards truth of self
as a part of community #GloPoWriMo #NaPoWriMo

NaPoWriMo, Day Ten, Poem Seven. #NaPoWriMo #GloPoWriMo #NaPoWriMo2026
when we turn towards morning
half turned to turning back night
eyes say
night is our charm
nose crawls clear to the Moon
while entireties of our bodies
laugh, toes painted, pointed starlight
we burn the past
rise ash then to rain
and poem begs too
stained we as well
#GloPoWriMo #NaPoWriMo
To the flowers,
death is a vase.
And all that came before us
by the wind's slight whims erased.

Leatherback: The Ancient Swimmer
#napowrimo #NaPoWriMo2026 #GloPoWriMo #poetry
A ballad that crescendos quickly
for I am the wandering poet,
brachiating through the canopy
at highest speeds
in search of a lost love,
a soul I will serenade
for an eternity.

9 - This and That
In such a state of that pain,
it is clear that this pain cannot come too soon.
They will fight, and one will lose.
The other will withdraw,
If all goes well.

8 - Flowers
Flowers on the shelf.
They remind you that there is
a world and you have a place,
and the place is colour
and the form of beauty.

when fighting through feeling
alone beyond breath
say you know
laboring an inhale
manifesting an exhale
regaling an avail
saying no thing is for sale
pay we do
though say you of day
what gives us
thrive to elegance
dance to relevance
self to self
whole wholly holy #GloPoWriMo #NaPoWriMo
