Melt and Morph
I want to shake off the dust water off a dog’s back – chalk off the palms and sing to people – sing to you
I feel the coffee travel through the route 66 of my body warm moves like cars in the slow lane I put on my turn signal and stay up studying for finals af… View Post

A Decomposing Semester - A Summer Birthing
a pyroclastic flow erupts from my ear
and pushes all the sound out
my bed only has three good legs, like a dog who hobbles through the neighborhood
blood rushes to my feet or blood rushes to my head – no equilibrium
information overwhelms like the smell… View Post

Creativity Talk!
My dad has always been one of my biggest inspirations. He’s always on a quest to better himself and share his knowledge and experiences with others.
He recently started a blog called, “Crazy Composer,” where he talks about the technical, creative,… View Post

Deserving and Choosing "Happy"
I am blessed to have a best friend in my little sister, who’s 5 years younger. Even though there’s somewhat of a significant gap in our age, our psychological and emotional wiring is very similar. Depression runs in my family, and from time to time, my… View Post
Drive Back from Santa Fe
the clouds were a swollen eye-shut
pistachio shells covered the mats – Catholics in the streets of the Vatican
a sleeping head hammocked in seatbelt slack
glass beaded window, fingers choking the neck of the steering wheel like a spooked cat gripping the… View Post
Art and Science
This semester I have been taking a geology course for my environmental science degree program. Two students in my lab group are Chinese, and have a hard time communicating in English. The other two students in my group are fluent native speakers and move… View Post

A Science Major Who Still Believes
The other day in geology class, a couple of jokes poking fun at Christianity were made. They were subtle jabs towards the assumed ridiculousness of a belief in Jesus. The class erupted into laughter, and one man could hardly contain himself.
I sat in… View Post
For Dr. Matthias
caterpillar eyebrows
a voice like my Grandpa Trujillo
shelves with physics atmospheric jackets – lots of books, lots of jackets
notes and drawings from his family posted on his walls – a colorful collage
an exposed heart in an architectural office chest View Post

Tomorrow Will Be Different
Today, unfortunately I didn’t take the time to “smell the roses,” both literally and figuratively. I was so focused on why my day was so hard that I had no energy left over to enjoy the nice parts – like air conditioning, running into friends, food, nice… View Post shared via WordPress.com
Inspired Learning
Lately, I’ve been soaking up inspiration from people in my life – some I know very well, and others are complete strangers.
Strangers
This morning, I sat in an all grains beer brewing class with my boyfriend. A small room of people from age 21 to… View Post shared via WordPress.com

Insecurities
I’m often aware of my insecurities, of the things I know I should be sure of. They usually sprout like seeds in a lawn that unexpectedly gets a downpour. And once I see one little sprout, they start coming up one by one like the leaves of a chia pet, like… View Post shared via WordPress.com

Blue Blanket Camera Eyes
Chess board pupils
Black glass – fish eye lens
You take ideas and stretch them
animal skin on bongo heads
pennies in the pocket of a pauper
Why can’t I see it your way?
It’s like that Paul McCartney song
I sit on your blue velvet blanket I hear you… View Post shared via WordPress.com

breakfast
black speckled smoothie sips
the taste of coffee on your lips
every day brings harvest moons, sweet whistled oldies tunes
your turquoise eyes, my earthy windows
wading feet in hungry minnows
sit on the patio
let rain patter on our breakfast View Post shared via WordPress.com

My Favorite Things
I worry. A lot. I worry about everything. I worry that I’m gong to get in a car accident every time I open the door to the driver’s seat. I worry that when I graduate I’m going to go broke and let my life disintegrate. I worry that I’ll gain weight and… View Post shared via WordPress.com
Fairies and Elves
I want the white trunked tree with yellow in its hands
and in a tight lipped jar the song scribbles of bands
sharpie dressed CDs, on IKEA shelves
teeth brushing fairies and room cleaning elves

Time Traveler
a dog that chews his walking leash
hold the sand cities – wet shins, elbows, knees
the wiggling rump of candles, domesticated lightning bug
time traveler, Einstein enchanter
I travel the speed of light to your house
and the sound of my car trails… View Post shared via WordPress.com
A Poem for August 2nd
I ate the cookie you gave me
waiting to unwrap the tinfoil like Charlie and the golden ticket
tearing back the edges
save the blue transparent scribbles
and pin it to my wall like a butterfly
Harvest Moon swims my walls
a glass of warm eggnog with nutmeg c… View Post shared via WordPress.com
