About Me
I love chocolate shakes, cats, cosmogeny/cosmology, writing, painting, digital art, not having completed suicide, bears.

If I could come back to life as an animal, I would be a
black or panda bear in a VERY isolated spot.

If I could come back to life as a plant, I would be a
disease resistant American Elm

If I could have lunch with any historical or current person, it would be
Temujin Borogjin

I could best describe my personality as
walking oxymoron; optimistic depressive and gregarious introvert

Poem Power poems bits of bricks and shards of souls
scattered and stacked to create wholes
whether or not in rhythm and rhyme
they can endure beyond our time

The Crossing The Shore mingling with the ocean
feeling its pull
left here alone, desolate
seeing her eyes, as dark as her soul

Psychotic RE: RE: miracles they ('they') say naltrexone is contraindicted
my doc sez death would make them vindicated
half of me wants to try, half to hope in either end
one to leave, the other to mend
6/15/2011
Psychotic miracles two-fold, double-edged;
problem, 'solution', both have me hedged;
doubt and confusion, cause and effects;
the miracle creates more defects...

Psychotic education there is nothing secret, only ignorance;
there is nothing they have that you cannot;
there is nothing they do that you don't allow them;
but ignorance is a tool they use;
education is your only hope... thank god for the internet.

Psychotic RE: RE: definitions I feel like Alice, always bigger and smaller;
there is no malice in how they change me;
but they re-arrange me, twist and bend me;
I just want to holler, "why can't we mend me?"
6/13/2011
Psychotic definitions meds are the answer they say;
but I do not react in the 'normal' way;
stop fitting me in and treat me as me;
else my death we see

What's in a Name katepoet RE: survival Numbness defines me,

What's in a Name katepoet RE: taking away what i never appreciated Here, I am!
In the warped body
lies my warp and weft,
still trying to be
as much of me as I can.

Recovery katepoet RE: RE: Recovery Illness punishes her,
by association, he who
loved her is painted
the dank brush
of her penitentiary.

acronyms katepoet eveining comes softly Evening comes softly, the sky melts into lavender;
violet and pomegranate clouds cross the horizon.
The sun's amber aurora descends its meridian
leaving only the cool breath of twilight stirring.

Rewritten Lives katepoet RE: Afterburn Her reflection mirrors hidden scars,
dark eyes sunk in charcoal shadows
smudged across her countenance.
On sunny days, she pretends her face is fair;
burnt blemishes are simply beauty marks.
