30-Day Image Prompt.


I couldn't put it into words
so I spoke with my hands
and I built us this home
we'd be happy at anywhere...
me, the strong and silent type and
you, the smart and sensible one.
It took us years
of love and loss and work
but little did we know
that it would give us
so much more than we ever put in
and after all is accounted for...
look at what we've got!
Not a house, not a home,
but it's our little world
where we've grown to be
more than just "me an' you";
we're us. Always.
Bigger than we imagined
and everything we've faced...
and I still don't have the words
but we've given each other the world.
What else would we need?

30-Day Image Prompt.


We're gonna die from the inside.

Each letter in the chemical is toxic;
we're growing alphabets and ingesting sentences
that would doom lesser species.
But what are we supposed to hate?
More and more and more?
I don't win for getting to breathe
the same air that blows the bees
and the government wants to tax
with pollutants and bombs and
a myriad of complex neurotransmissions
meant to stem diseases at the cost
of newer, unnamed ones. And
if you think that's a mouthful
don't hold your breath;
just because it sounds important,
that doesn't make it right.
We're gonna die from the inside
         anyway,
just so we're clear,
but it's everything on the
         everything on the outside
that starts our processional process.

Just so we're clear.
