My Blog has Moved

I read a disturbing news piece today on how Google shut down a blog because of political content it disagreed with; no warning, no answers as to why, no feedback whatsoever. So I have taken my business elsewhere--WordPress.com, whose terms and conditions are more transparent. My new blog can be found at the following URL:

Broken Mirror

Anger
Seeps
Like
Syrup
From
Abandoned
Trees
Collecting
In
Leaking
Buckets
Bursting
As
The
Other
Reflects

Noise

Quiet
Breezes
Sweep
The
Debris
Of
The
Day
Away
Again
And
Again
And
Again
As
I
Bask
In
The
Light

Carpetbaggers

Walls
Go
Up

Down
While
The

High-Jacked

The
Head
Swirls,
Pain
Spreads,
Limbs
Weaken
As
Breath
Is
High-jacked
To
Rotten
Roots;
The
Other
Severs
The
Taken
Path
Pulling
Perspective
From
The
Earth

Baby Steps

Others
Choose
What
To
Hear
And
Say,
While
Little
Fingers,
Toes
And
Hearts
Fill
Lives

Timing

Asleep
At
The
Wheel,
Falling
Down
Stairs,
Stumbling
Through
A
Life
With
Open
Eyes
Closed,
The
Other
Rescues

Homesick

Subways
Move
People
Through
Familiar
Terrain
As
My
Mind's
Eye
Follows
Its
Course
Closely
Into
The
Yearned
Existence

Laying the Keel

Little
Fingers
Toes
And
Hearts
Exist
To
Fill
Lives
As
The 
Other
Chooses
What
To
Hear
And
Say

Come Home

Justice
Mercy
And
Fairness,
This 
Life
Has
Little
Of 
Each
Until
Our
Gaze
Shifts

Healing

Pain
Hurts,
Helps
And
Hassles
In
The 
Bowel
Or
In
The
Heart
We
Remember

Tethered Pain

Truth
Escapes
The
Spider's
Web
Of
Deceit,
Spun
Smartly
For
The
Wise,
Squeezing
The
Numb
Limbs
Until
Only
The
Glimmer
Of
Hope
Remains

White

Alone
Tears
Fall
In
Quiet
Rooms
With
Others;
Crying
With
Those
Who
Can't
Hear
And
Live
Blindly

rain or shine

Envelopes
Filled
With
Hope
Pass
From
The
Messenger
To
No
One;
Stilled
By
The
Silence
Of
Rage

Road Maps

Last
Resorts
Live
At
The
End
Of
The
Road
For
A
Reason

Game Theory

His
Tears
Scream
Down
At
The
Nothingness
Left
Behind
In
His
Heart;
Breaking
Over
And
Over
Falling
Into
The
Abyss

Nursery Rhymes

Outside
The
Cold
Pushes
Safely
Into
The
Warm
Roots
Of
The
Sapling;
Snapping
Life
From
The
Safety
Of
The
Woods

Fairy Tales

Torn
Apart
The
Mind
Yells
And
Is
Divided;
Seeking
Shelter
In
The 
Truth
Of
Lies

Buttons

Sad 
Angry
Eyes
Glare
From
Behind
The
Glass
In
The
Darkness
Pushing
On
All
Sides
Hiding
The
Light

Zoo

Out
Of
Air
Again
I
Gasp;
Pushing
Away
The
Draining
Distractions
I
Drop
My
Cares
And
Suffocate

2011

A
Year
Of
Loss
Lost,
Love
Lived,
Change
Changed,
Growth
Gained,
Hearts
Healed;
A
New
Year
