Blood Tied

sometimes I worry
when I dont hear from you in awhile
youve gone back
down the path
fractured and wild

sometimes its scary 
to be with you in joy
to give you such soft parts of me
backward steps destroy

sometimes I miss you
and mourn what I cant know
wishing that maternal love
whether bruised or promised young
felt to me like home

sometimes

dad's birthday is today

journal from quarantine
Kuna, ID last week of March

mind if I take shelter for awhile
simpleness and self found in this mile
contour of the land remains the same
no resonance with illness thoughts or blame

mountains here weren’t made just in a day
if my bones are dirt, my skin the sage
comfort in familiarity
fall into patterns of memory

dread for the slow won’t consume us in the end
circumstance led me to you again
