Oscillation
The Poem and the Pendulum
Oscillation.
A pendulum swing.
the trough and crest
that cradle and pummel
the shipwrecked sailor
as he fights for breath:
or
the intertwining, coinciding
result of a pulse - a thing
created by the Creator
Though many beg to differ
using the X's and Y's of man's interpretation.
can't divided beliefs, like sound waves,
pass through one another without such separation?
So
what do we know?
The ups and downs of man's evolving revelation
our ups and downs
physical and speculation
a tug of war:
Oscillation.

Dissection of the Meleagris Gallopavo
The experiment of the Meleagris Gallopavo began as it normally would: an early morning awakening to light snowfall, hot coffee waiting on the stove, warm crackling heat and, a soon to be insatiable hunger cured only by the festival cheer, company of others, and of course the Gallopavo itself.

bad medicine
about the highs and lows of toxic relationships, from drugs, to dudes, to the drama of it all. the . how it can feel so good when it's good, and so bad when it's bad. how it makes us sick - codependent and fixated on them - and can begin to believe we need them. and how we are the only person with the power to change things in our lives. it's about what medicine you take, because good and bad are both all around us all the time.
