The Jam Files #2 — The Longest Winter Ever

This winter has been a deep freeze.

where burning becomes
a state of being, & ashes
are the taste of comfort

…an invitation
to glimpse within

…I couldn’t stop being entranced by Sissy Spacek’s freckles & her crystal blue eyes…

Today is my husband & I’s 7 year wedding anniversary.

A Letter to My Muse

our voices lost in this void,
like phantoms, we avoid
all real feeling…

prices paid,
empty pockets
& callused hands

This year most of
the world walked
a bit in my
self-isolation moccasins

dawn rises
singing her canticles,
touches the killing fields
