I sympathize, dog,
Longing for human contact,
Howling like the wolf,
In wild in a pack,
Not meant to be lone

Benchmarks
Benchmarks of my progress
Hooray for me!
Seeming fine to everybody,
And still I worry,
What is sanity when it can slip
So easily?
I’m good, I’m sure,
But how can I be sure?
What if the figurative demons return?
–The ones I was positive
Were exorcized?
Fear of the return is infrequent
But vigilant I remain
Someone needs to be
Watching for the return of
A me I do not want to be
So I go through the motions
The exercise
To keep unisolated my heart and mind
Where Do You Go?
Where do you go, love,
When your words cannot be seen?
Toiling still in life?
–Filling your world with beauty,
In the act of just being
The Build Up
Build up border walls,
Build up greatest show on Earth,
Build up divisions,
Build up, build up, build up while
Infrastructure falls
Mercy
Listen to the bird song
Listen to the trees
Listen to the butterflies
Polar bear, and honey bee
Listen to the tides,
Listen to the breeze
Listen to the snow and ice,
Listen to the Earth
As she cries for her children,
As she cries for mercy
Listen intently
Listen, listen
Listen and act,
Before we are unable
Cake
I want my cake,
And even when it is given,
Even when it is there
I am terrified,
I am guilt ridden,
Craving
To taste,
To eat,
To enjoy it too
