Odetta


sing it up da hurt
sing it up da savin' grace
sing till it be SUNG !

fianally arrived



depleted, shrunken

ghosted, void, and evicted
finally... just here.

melting


Everything I am
All of me there is to give
flows without reserve

Traces



weeping into sleep
she slips gently to her left
to a space he kept

slaked


explosive loving
flowing streams crash and tumble
then rest in ripples

'Lil' Easy' - Charleston, WV


almost forgotten
overlooked and underloved
secret Charleston

the price


life at dead center...
you can reach anybody,
and can't touch a soul.

"Pets" One Single Impression



I sit like this now...
i sit like this when you're not home
so what's with the look?!?

...and when you visit
recalling....
just remember,

I've never been here....

Reflecting


beauty comes in twos
still water, ponds and puddles
prove we take up space

Desert or Deserted


standing weeping bones
ancient ruins marking time
remembering love

"city of light", watercolor, Jeanne K Cochran



in a brilliant light
a city steeped in spirit
and timeless virtue

damned romance so thick!
my eyes bleed the memories,
we should be making...

pearldrops on petals
dew dance in the early light
a bee lights with love

beneath everything
the sweet murmur of music
woven through my life
