Something is Something (JG)

Something is something
and isn’t Monday
but Monday is something.
Isn’t it so?

And if Monday is something
and nothing is brightening
wherever we go,

then nothing is peaches
and savory things
no matter the weather
or the day of the week.

    I’ve had dreams that I wake up to either crying or suffocating. This morning I woke up with tears, but after replaying the dream over, my perspective changed to one of understanding the woman I cried over was a casted shadow of me, the other woman. I’m at peace today knowing I’m ready to move on with my new life. I’m not perfect, which is a perfect picture ready to splash the world with color. 🔥❤️🙏

      Many thanks Cindy. That's a powerful story of dreams and interpretations. John and I were just discussing in an email about dreams and dreamers, and I think a lot of his poems resonate with people because they are often at the intersection of where reality meets dreams via creativity. Thanks for sharing your comment. xx

    Monday is something melting a wave of storms a plenty with sugary things.

Gather alone or together (MS)

  In 2144, I’ll be very dead,  not there's any other form of dead. I'm buried in a bookstore, not in the classics section nor under poetry.  I'm under a Clearance Sale banner. You’ll be buried in the Van Gogh, Dickinson, Thoreau section for those fully discovered long after death. I ask you to sing The Sound of Silence. You’ll say you don't know it then you sing the whole song. Hello darkness, my old friend.

Never-ending beginning (MS)

the clearing in the forest light as dark day is night life or day rest in golden hay harvested in summer heat nothing there now said the dying, reborn page here's something new we can pack up and go leaving a never-ending poem in our wake at our wake and there is no death.

The River I died on (MS)

The river I died on Is fat and it's old It trudges slowly Toward a sea that trembles And squawks like an eagle In the sky Death, Master of the drowned world  Suddenly stopped At my door And said look  You should have put your shoes on And come walking with me. I wanted to show you things You’ll never have understood But would watch in wonder. Too late now for coffee Your shoes float on the rusty red ocean No need for sticks To help you stand and walk You are lost to the river And go to the sea from where you came.
