addendum

credo, revised: waste not. want more.

writing tonight

like falling in love, only lonelier.

a new vessel

un cahier noir, for secrets stored.

improv life

better things await in the eaves.

pleasant surprises

euphoria on a sunday morning, alone?

setting you free

"love is the child of freedom."

the modern girl's mantra

"somehow, i'm still hopeful," she said.

oh, where you goin' for the two hundred and fiftieth time

i'm off to the starting line.

i met you in the void,

where emptiness was supposed to be.

between the barbs

you're a sweetly stung far thing.

the story board: sheet nine

home's where the open door is.

but all of the oceans and rivers and showers will wash it all away

holy water for a godless girl.

la que vuela

gravity's the least of my problems.

ode to the mexican street musician

lovely, lyrical land: keep on singing.

"decasílabas, todas!"

your war cry's a beating bomb.

my blessings get so blurred

a cold city cradles drafty dreams.

gonna put us together with glue or an elastic band

i'm really good at making messes.

third time's the charm

i'm useless without my blue notebook.

méxico te amo

i missed you, you wonderful mess.

the quiet before the storm

mexico, you ready for your revolution?
