I love walking with her
The rain lightly pours
Just enough to keep all things wet
I shield her
To keep her dry
She shivers only once
From the chill in the air
But her smile shines through the cold
She never asks permission
But I am always willing
She forgets about me unless I’m needed
I don’t complain
She’s always happy to see me
When the storms get worse
She holds me tight
I shield her
I keep her dry
Until the clouds pass

The large arm lifted higher
Than the masthead
Shiny and black with
Hooks pushing out of each sucker
The ship crushed in twine
A large beak like a bird
Rose from the water
Catching the crew of the lost vessel
The rest of the beast hidden
We watched from the safety of our ship
As our sister ship was devoured
By the merciless black titan
From the poetry collection Cats, Coffee, Catharsis.
Breathing heavy
Hyper alert
Heart racing
Fingers tingling
Hands numb
The chills
No control
Irritability
Moody
Panic disorder
Staying busy
Mindless tasks
Movement is calming
The moment will pass
Just keep moving
Avoid others
Remove stimuli
Deep breaths
Fighting yourself
A constant battle
From the poetry collection Cats, Coffee, Catharsis.
