March Pi-Archimedes #9

inspiration

tiny bits of
it
if one pauses to notice
it
a whisper from the muse
dust-dappled light, streaming, poetry flickers in familiar overlooked places

March Pi-Archimedes #8


infinity ad nauseam

no end no
beginning
symbolism borrowed from mathematics
empowerment
and expressions of never-ending love
an overused, pretentious icon whose end is long overdue

Faith Restored

To the WomanWho Told Me to Have a Nice Day…

I can’t forget what
you did…forgive me,
I never got your name, but
I wish I had, so
I could thank you for
being you, for doing
what you did that day,
without even trying, no
hint of forced intention,
because
that’s just who you are…
kind,
with a helping hand,
a ready smile, and a word
of encouragement in
the midst of my shitty day…
I can’t forget what
you did…forgive me,
I never got your name, but
I wish I had, so
I could thank you

Youneed not know the person personally just so long as they had an impact on yourlife or the life of someone near and dear to you.


March Pi-Archimedes #7

winter burn

bright mornings like
this
beautiful blue, sunlit skies
deceive
notice how the birds keep
silent vigil on tree limbs amidst frigid air, breathless

March Pi-Archimedes #6


clockwork

the second hand
convulses
devouring moment after moment
lost
to history, never to return
the only way to capture time is to breathe
