Rocks and Clouds



He loved me so much that he wanted me dead

The fear in my heart was too much to bear

Tight fingernail grip on the pain of the rocks

Knowing there was a choice of just when to drop

Looked way down inside and took a deep breath

Closed my eyes and let go, shit what a trip

Dodging lightning, thunder and tremendous winds

Being struck with electric that came out of my hands

Then bumping on clouds in their white enough

And resting a moment on their pink bellies and fluff

Seen from above, a whole different eye

Like God from the heavens with an eternal sigh 

As the glorious beauty distracted the brain

Looking OUT for a saviour ,actually within

The rain washed down like a treasured mix tape

Over and over until there was peace

We will come back to that start over part, little did I even suspect.There were so many things that struck me in this breathtaking place. I could write pages and pages (and may well do so) about the contrast between the giant United States and little tiny Switzerland. The Sw...

Eights and Circles

Bats and caves and really small spaces Hands to hold and smiles on faces Round and round in the grass we go Form a circle, no one says no Figure eights with our bodies, message for the soul For the child deep inside to play a role The frustration and fear are trumped by passion and awe Just listen to you heart and answer the call Ashes to ashes we all fall down Pick yourself up and spin round and round

who the fuck am i?

Who e Who the fuck am I? This July, I walked out onto the hot sidewalk with my friend’s ashes in a cardboard tube, all I could afford.  The tube was in a white plastic grocery bag. Powdered Peter is what I arrived at. I picked him up across from the Swiss Criminal court house where I had already been and am going back  All of this made me insatiably hungry.  The restaurant wasn’t open yet so I walked into the store next door, ….it reminded me of home so far away.  The owner was there,      strangely an older version of me. When she heard my English she asked where I was from. I’m from the US I said, moved here with my now Ex.  I’m sorry to hear she said but now you have a chance to meet someone completely new.  But he took my children I said. She replied, then you have a chance to mother in a different way.  But I don’t have a job or a real place to live I said. She smiled kindly and said         ...
