cut to ribbons
gratefully,
in dreams,
I destroy
my life’s work
ribbons stream
from my eyes
no words
more powerful
than a sleeping
child
please,
forget me
I am not
your role model
do not become me
no cluster
of letters
deserves
your tears

Poems, performances, photography, productions, stories, prose, music, journalism, band, songwriting, videos - surviving despite the odds. Is it all true? Yeah. Maybe. Sometimes. Mostly. Creation is transformative. I collaborate with amazing artists and musicians, primarily with my band, Puma Perl and Friends. Books available as well: knuckle tattoos, Belinda and Her Friends, Ruby True, Retrograde, Birthdays Before and After. Photo, Len DeLessio
