2022, what about it?

[stilltrucking]

frustration of longevity
victim conundrum
speaks in silent words

[judih]

a wise old poem
the only voice in the room
again i'm silent

[judih]

slugging through swamplands
politics and corruption
seeking out poets

[judih]

pile of syllables
impatiently waiting
exhale into ku

[stilltrucking]

politics of despair remedy
escape into poetry
to keep faith in democracy

a homage to him

[judih]

full night of sleep
coughing upon arising
day for gratitude

[stilltrucking]

thanks giving/ground hog day
every day precious gift

i am a thing called alive

—unk

[judih]

a wise-crack ku
marx brothers references
and snide birthday wink

[judih]

ancient history
re-told by a woman
glory gone gory


#The Silence of the Girls

[judih]

dear yoga nidra
grateful for your strength
embedded in cells

[judih]

morning attraction
white wall invites silver fish
still life haiku

[judih]

one wistful sigh
imagining being there
distant family

[judih]

in a sea of chaos
something to cling to
weather forecast

[stilltrucking]

rock my soul
in the bosom of Abraham
just give one thing I can hold onto

I am an old woman
named after my mother
my old man is another
child that's grown old

angel from Montgomery

Boulder to Birmingham

Thanksgiving tin pan alley mashup
playing in my head

[judih]

with each embrace
soul-mometer rises
as life-force expands
