don't make things bigger
than you want them to be, hear?
nothing but the real.

***

I find my sentence
after the third or fourth word–
stern as True as bow.

***

make many mistakes
or let them find diamond blooms
tough but beautiful

my grandma knows things
that come across as magic.
how does she do that?

something ripe

I hear something ripe
why not spill your whole story
and I'll yarn you mine.

***

that door is un-shut
while you skip rocks on far ponds
young boys steal your pie


***

I pick my battles
and I chose to fight with you
until we melted

co-stride

run between the hills,
use these branches to steady
as your pace slows

step on autumn leaves
like your very feet depend
on frail foliage

breathe in chilled harsh airs
in snow taste high atmospheres
and know they are there

stretch out in the thaw
let the breeze play on your skin
find your non-limits

become powerful
and please watch others be so
we stride together

when it reins

hey, hold your horses
especially the strong one
the flea bitten grey

he's got a mind to
take off without thinking, why
he'll pull you away

meyer

use your pen truly
say what you say in few words
hit them with the truth

bigger

find a reason to
keep the world alive with me
don't look past your nose
