#EvacueeDiary V Poetry Therapy

 

Before the story could move across the country, it had to sit still for a minute.


These are the small poems from the smoke, the sirens, the moon, the road, and the quiet places Sweetie and I found after the fire.


Haiku became a way to breathe in three lines.

1/7

In Los Angeles
The dreams have a smokey hue 
I want to wake

1/14

The moon seems angry
Luna glows like her brother
City lights question

1/15

That’s my city now
Electric light orchestra
Spaceship of angels

1/16

Tell us a story
Time only tells where you are
I watch where I Am

1/20

City dreams of sleep
Quiet and a siren sings
Promissory note

1/21

Pearls dance in the sky
Pushing down a Century
Welcome to LA

1/23

Concrete permanence
Tomorrows portals still stand
Welcoming futures

1/24

And her eyes are there
Amid stunning distractions
The décolletage

1/25

Welcoming the storm
Embers burn please be sad Sky
Tears extinguish grief

1/26

Exceptional shine
The space between Yin and Ysng
I exist as line

1/29

Don’t make war on tears
Battles are for enemies
Tears transmute the pain

2/4

Standing sentinel
They form a line by themselves
In Altadena

2/5

Sirens tell a tale
Misty circumstances smile
Her behind the veil

2/14

Don’t turn the lights out
Scorpio baby making
February moon

3/10

Hazy familiar
Ready I will shower you
Wash your hair with care

3/14

This Laguna Beach
The waves crashing delicious
I’m famished for sweets
