Seattle’s Smoky Air

The smoke will soon clear
And autumn’s blessing will come
Scrubbing the air clean

A New Day 

A new beginning
Intersecting new with old
Moving forward now


A new work week starts. What will you accomplish?

A Martial Arts Aspiration

My aspirations
Continue with martial arts
For all of my life

Order from Chaos 

Order from chaos
A key part of what it means
To be a human


Oh, chaos stresses me so. A important struggle for me as I thrive in order. Systems are my goal, I guess. Or at least they’re my ally. 

Do you love women, or just vaginas?

For so many men
The claim they love women
Means they’re fond of vaginas
And they miss so very much

Of what it means to
Connect with others and
Understanding love

For a vagina
Is only a small piece
Of what it means
To be woman

Early Morning Anxieties 

Fear….anxieties
Like to rise up
Inhibiting my rest 


My mind often wakes me with silly fears or concerns. I learned, ages ago, that the best thing I can do is wake, add them to my workflow. My brain then knows that I won’t forget. 


This morning’s haiku 

The summertime heat 

This morning’s air brings relief 

With a chance of rain
