Untitled
Like a tree falling but with one foot in the ground
I am like that too and make no sound
Falling so far and fast towards the ground
Closing my eyes and opening my arms wide
Feeling for time rushes by
Like a tree dying without a heartbeat
I struggle to breathe and see what’s before me
Trying to feel the Earth that I’m around
Hoping that I won’t hit the ground
Looking to find a ground as red as blood
Letting my roots feel a tug
Like a tree being planted anew
I feel the sun and the gentle wind blowing thru
Spread my wings so that I can take flight
Fly away like I was a bird freed from my cage

The gangster swaggered down the pitch black alley like a fierce gorilla
Swung a gun to her head and slurred; “give me my money”
The petite girl scurried down the street
Halted, and got giddy because she found some money
She was prowling around desperately, clawing her way up life’s mountain of problems
She can’t feed her hunger without money
Chinese New Year kissed today
Grandmother tossed me a red envelope overflowing with money
Shopping is heroin
Just yesterday she inhaled clothes until she used up all her money

the sound of keys vibrating on the piano
white keys dancing along happily
occasionally hitting black keys
but always returning down to the white ones
a song is formed as time passes, and journey progresses
a mistake is made, the song halts…
the fingers gain composure and pick themselves up
the song ends beautifully
