lacking wind
tree branches do not bend
starlight unphased
Early morning, when I’m not interested in being awake, yet here i am.
Another Seattle Area Tech Worker | Pronouns: He/Him

a view to the west
looking over the water
calmness of sunlight

rain held back
clouds hide the sun
a rose glowing

moonlight through the clouds
the wind’s grace bringing it forth
dreams await me soon

sitting, pen in hand
crafting poems while it rains
glorious coffee

embraced by the night
walking, the air freeing me
birds high overhead
raindrops define me
their mumbled movement downwards
the earth’s gratitude



grey skies fill my eyes
raindrops linger in my dream
coffee’s beauty reins
Sitting
Tall stool
Metal table
Vice gripping
My victim
Bending
Shaving
Scraping
Demanding
It fit into
My will.
Resistance
Solid
We find
Detente,
This soul
Longing
For the
Trees
