Bold, Hopeful Portraits

of people.
of places.
of things.
like nouns.
and nonsense.

music.
smells.
memories.
all colliding.
crashing.
breaking in my brain.

poems.

pensive.
passionate.
powerful.
pitiful.

spaces.
between.
dreams and days.
scaffolding. 
forgotten forks.

find the time.
mix the measure.
finish the sentence.
keep going.
despite.
