symbols of the past
morph nonexistent
depleted at the core
gyroscopes hold no vision
briers don’t sting
wars inconsequential
knowing the truth
came unexpected
from the realities
encountered each day

-Jennie Nawrocki

no need to fight
separate the spite

the only food
keeping good

-Jennie Nawrocki

I don’t wanna
you know I gonna
its in your favor yah
seeing the doc going ah, ah, ah
I ain’t got crap
shown from a pap
just that blessed baby
from my whittle belly

-Jennie Nawrocki

pain inflicting
feel without editing

words of anger
positive vernacular

tenses stagnate
expressions animate

interactions bitter
intimacy tender

strangers endure
relationships are pure

-Jennie Nawrocki

scramble awake
dreams dissipate
covers removed
pressing feet
stands the body
through the frozen air
flipping switches
dispelling darkness
percolating the day
in multiple ways
dressing for the occasion
gathering items for use
communicating ideas
agreements made
processes begin
routines completed
although more to be done
amongst weaving thoughts
guiding the unwrapped day

-Jennie Nawrocki

tranquil thoughts
our daily aim
lapsing completely
hindsight brings
discussion among
what’s to come
this will be good
bringing forth
tranquil thoughts

-Jennie Nawrocki

rooted in the ground
it spreads wide and long
withdrawn from the eye below
seeking moisture around
above leaves face sunlight
growing within view
shading one so close
each year a new ring
expansive in its build
casting a presence
ancient with wisdom
through vast weather
adapting through change
flowing with air
standing through extremes
awed by its abilities
from just a tiny seed.

-Jennie Nawrocki
