with hope upon wakening
believin the work to be done
i open my manuscript
and like the washer the dryer you
spill out on the floor at my feet
such is life
replete and resplendent
we sharpen our blades
and fall on them

kick no. forty and one
sometimes life demanded a kick in the teeth
anything to see you
smile #katyamills
pro.cess.ing
they worked with chemicals
and film
swallowed several shots
before work toward
calm
extrication of light
from darkness
development
hopelessly devoted to
the process
#katyamills
turn on
when all’s quiet
in my home
the great amplitude
of raw energy
like a switch
turns me
on
#katyamills
all you got
they beat the mean streets
and hard luck faces
by a big heart a
penchant for laughter a
stomach for failure
ana means for makin
easy cash and friends
ina forsaken land

cause.s
in the reprieve of summer
we gathered like birds in the park
for a cause
i donated books to the library
a man with manufactured legs
walked his dog
the trees dying of thirst
in this land
we cannot live without
our causes
a great many flock behind
the ones who stand
in front
#katyamills
al.lure
i lost my voice
miles from shore i
had no choice
the old rage and confusion
the sadness yes i took the bait
jitterbugs 9 hooks
tore my belly up
i ran the line out to its end i
clean broke that red devil
flash! in the air
you ain’t never gonna
catch me
again

hungry tummy
we were kids we
could not see behind our
backs. you headed 4 the duck pond
brought back dinner
4 the hungry
tummies #katyamills
sea.worthy
seaworthy to be
we wore layers upon layers
thick wool caps to be
landworthy laced our boots tight
to be worthy to be
we wore our hearts out
unfurled them off a post
gave them to all
the elements
our adversaries
did not stand
a chance

Hollywood Hills
two lane highway
snake in the forest
take us to the sea
take us to Hollywood
to family with blessings
take us 2 the top of the world
to share a smoke
against sorrows
memories of screenplays of
travels and Egyptian swindlers
the red-haired boy
the love of winsome
LA sunsets
