Had me contained

controlled, away

So I would rise, rebel

break through

And be me... finally

Life's homeopathy

I'm grateful beyond all strange

Japanese words for feelings

Make falling down

fun

Getting up

fresh, like the first time

Be up there

exhilarated, true

The world comes from you

Goodbye

I hope you heal

I won't be there for it

because that's all I ever wanted

I'm closing this door 

and "for the kids" was a just

a stage of grieving

This empty space looks good on me

There used to be Burlesqa

a black cat from Cañon City

with a smoky voice

She only brought me 

birthday gifts

never missed one

This special was

for Sofie's very first 

Happy Birth Day

Kids' archnemesis this morning

is the snowplow

They dress in winter gear

and armed with sticks and attitude

the two are ready for a face-off:

The snow is for everyone!
