CHRISTMAS: Celebrating an unmarried teenage mom giving birth in a stable, to a baby who grew up to be a prominent activist for peace, love and anti-capitalist values; who preferred the company of honest prostitutes to that of the religious elite; who partook in radical direct action against the banking system, and was publicly executed as an enemy of state. My prayer today is: let his wisdom guide...

Excerpt from a poem not yet written...
something about the way… your tooth pokes out of your smile on the right side of your mouth which looks left to me or your breath across my chest as your left cheek rests on my breast which feels right to me

Rollercoasters & Chainsaws
Sometimes the day just gets away from you, and you’ve no control over where you wind up. Sometimes you end up in the weirdest of places. That’s the luck of the draw. The trick of the roller coaster. The enjoyment of the the ride. Climb onboard. Shut the fuck up. Throw your hands in the air (and wave ‘em like you just don’t care!). You may scream. You may not...

Dear Double Down
Dear Double Down, I first heard your name Whispered on the lips of passers-by Quite some time ago… They spoke in exotic tones about you Heralding your arrival Calling this a great new day I paid little attention To this clatter of words around me Having long ago learned I often fall in love too soon And finally feeling like I’ve been learning How not to let myself get hurt Dear Double...

Your Cheese Grater Heart
No more do I long For your cheese grater heart Bloody fingertips were fine But you always took it further Wanted every shred of me Beyond human decency While desensitizing us both To the pain being caused I picked up my pulpy bits To put myself back together But still rubbed my wounds Up against your assault Like banging my head Against the wall Around my heart Our drunken dance Of rinse-cycle...

Colourful Times
They are whitewashing words Out of literate history And blacklisting birds From flying in the sky These should be colourful times… We could revel in the acrid orange Of burnt cheese toasted sunsets Or swim the red tides of hormone- Induced childhood menstration These could be clolourful times… There is violet inherent In all of our actions And the yellow snow of yesteryear Has yet to...

Dig Your Nails Into My Shoulders
Dig your nails into my shoulders Like you did before Speak to me Thru the places in-between There is no pain worse Than missing your touch So dig your nails into my shoulders Like you did before Tell me the stories My scars will remember And remind me What it’s like to be held

Dark Corners
You’ve got to respect other people’s dark corners, Even if there’s nothing but garbage in them… This is their place for sanctuary or sanctimony, Whichever they see fit to foster We all need these spaces for ourselves, Especially the people that shine brightest Their light cannot shine so bright, Without creating piercing shadow

Snapshot: New Year's Day
Reclining on an island To a book about Banff Springs Surrounded by the sounds Of family being family: Swedish folk songs taught and learned, The inner workings of the credit business discussed, The aristic merits of local television debated, And the histories of this storied house being told These actualities excede the edict Of “out with the old, in with the new…” We are...

a series of fortunate events...
i’d set out good intentions for the day. a few hours at the coffee shop working on my laptop, which i’d reward myself postscript with a trip to my favourite bookstore down the street before getting something to eat. i’d intended to take the break far earlier in the day, but found myself feeling pretty productive in a good groove working on year-end’s 2 Dope Boys in a...
