It is still dark,
I pull the darkness
Closer around me,
The light from the
Computer screen glows,
It is quiet and still...
I am reminded of a hospital room,
Where a woman fights for her life,
She opens her eyes.

Theme Thursday Prompt: Jump
White Man Dreams of the Ability to Jump.
Rabbit jumps,
Raven jumps,
Coyote jumps,
Woman jumps,
And dances,
In her new red shoes,
It is a skill of survival.
Jack be nimble,
Jack be quick,
Jack jumps over the candlestick,
Woman jumps,
Wearing only red shoes,
It is her skill of survival.
If there are puddles in heaven,
Christina is jumping over them.
If Christina is in heaven,
It means she did not survive.
If only she had been wearing
Her beautiful red shoes.
Jump, jump,
Jump Jim Crow,
Take a little step
And away you go,
Woman jumps,
In red high heeled sneakers,
It is her skill of survival.

The Thursday Think Tank - #31 Random Deviation
Wild Water
Wild water is something
You rarely see in the desert.
The place I choose to be.
But it can happen,
Sometimes without warning.
Flash floods,
Bring wild water into the arroyos,
Warnings may be issued.
But there is always someone
Who will just drive in,
And has to be rescued,
Or drowns.
Let this be a warning.
This occurrence is a mystery,
What do people think,
That allows them to drive their car
Into the temporary sea.
Do they think,
I'm sure my car will float,
Or that doesn't look too deep to me.
So let this be a warning.
It's happened before,
Too many times,
And it will happen again.
Only to further complicate this mystery.
Wild water is sometimes found in the desert.
Perhaps people don't believe what they see,
Let my words be a warning.
