the sky is fine (National Poetry Writing Month 2026 #7)   Leave a comment

Don't worry, the sky isn't falling down
Those aren't scattered shards of stars on the ground
Ignore the man with clouds sticking out of his head
Ignore seeing that beautiful blue turning red
Just listen to me, the voice on your phone
Don't think about all that, this is The Truth Zone
See this picture? The sky is perfectly clear
And look at these memes, you have nothing to fear
Just sleep and dream of those twinkling stars
No need to wonder where they are.

Drifting (National Poetry Writing Month 2024 #24)   Leave a comment

Shock comes from my corner eye
I'm dreaming of a blue sky
But distortion overrides my view

Panic starts to crush my chest
Joy and calm are now oppressed
I drift higher to that sky of blue

In this clear blue sky I flow
Leaving fear and dread below
My body has done all it could do

Soon, I'll leave this world of ours
Drift among the sea of stars
Finally, my journey starts anew
