a fight over nothing
in the car in the drive through
moody. half starved
a woman lying in the road
overcome by emotions
a man rushed to the hospital
time stops or slows and speeds up again
false alarm
someone took a pill
to ease a worried heart
in the rain
#katyamills
i made and gave time
for the hearts to simply open
and share the ups and the downs
and for what we were most
thankful
i watched another good one fall
to the death of corporate
interests
#katyamills
man against polar bear
man against walrus
against dog against dog
man against winter
man against time
against hunger
no need to be
against self
#katyamills
on a sunday predawn
the candles liquid the
street lights glowing orbs
in the fog i fought the bastards
in my sleep they set us back
turning hands like clocks
i summoned source
for the great escape into
consciousness
#katyamills
for hours
she could not fall asleep
he trying to keep his brother off
the streets we going to work every day they
take time to truly listen you
got something to say?
what time what?
say it!
#katyamills
life changed i
became
free of walk and free
of talk
those i loved
who had loved me
vanished
a sunny room
i watch you start in on
your meal
a couch under a modest chandelier
time passes
a soft spot where my voice
had been
ceramic plate
eggs and a spot of ketchup
a silver fork and listen!
do not speak!
contractions expansions the hands
climbing circles round
a face
you cannot
this cannot be
real
pots and pans brimming
with soap. good god
are we?
good god! i am
alive
#katyamills
1997
the cold mornings
wool hats and long johns the
nights beneath layers
cocooned
the bite in the air the
freezing and thawing. a silence
summer would never allow
will winter be up
for extinction?
time
like a fossil
burns fast
K IS SILENT
