Poems
I have written poetry all my life, but in the past few years, I have focused on the niche of science fiction poetry. I will link to poems here once they are published.
The trees along the street woke up
Early spring
In the distance a tree
Sat on a terrace
30 stories up
Imagine sunshine on your leaves
All day, all year
So lucky
Except for the high-altitude winds ripping
Leaves and twigs off
Roots already bound
To suffocate in a cramped planter
Wishing to be on the ground
No longer alone
Somewhere in my head
maybe ears or feet
my body yearns for
Up
Floating with no
gravity and
hallways coming at me
from all angles
They say it will hurt
me when we
arrive there bones breaking with
new weight
I will bear it
so I can raise my
arms look between and always see
the same Up
