THE ENIGMA OF PAMELA BARNES
psychic pamela barnes, dean POV.
.
I dig
the way
she digs
plum nails
under this
thick skin
with ease
and her
flirty prose.
.
I dig
how she
digs deep
with only
a look
that says
'S up, cowboy?
when she
already knows.
.
I dig
how her
digging dirt
on those
dead dirtbags
is like
me digging
a spoon
into pie.
.
I dig
that she
digs us
the way
she does–
and needs
give no
reason as
to why.
.

Poetry
Poet, poem, poetry
Organize the images in the writer,
Every word is a symbol that will let
The poet achieve the portrait that will be
Remembered in all its glory of their bravado
Yearning to be heard with great pomp.
(Double acrostic poem)

BABYGIRL
.
he smokes
his cigarette
like it's the last one on earth,
but he's always got two packs
more.
floppy hair
—that smells of something fruity
and car grease
and his grease—
dances
in his eyes
and he plays
at tucking strands
behind pierced ears
while his old guitar plays you
“bobby mcgee”
because he knows:
you're watching him,
so in the moment.
he sidles up,
that cowboy,
puts them dirty fingers
in his filthy mouth,
then in yours,
and you don't care
they got the day smeared on them.
you lick 'em clean
then touch them
to your heart.
you're his little campfire
and he's your box of kitchen matches.
mmm, babygirl.

my dad has a knife collection
robyn’s dad took her to the fairground this weekend. she said he bought her candy floss and they went on the big wheel. she showed us the fluffy bear toy he won for her on the hook-a-duck.
daniel’s dad stayed home all sunday to build lego with him. they made a spaceship with loads of guns on the back. i tried to tell daniel the guns weren’t very good because they weren’t the sort that would work from long distance. miss told me off for saying that.
megan’s dad taught her a new math equation last night. it was a really tricky one no one could understand but he spent all evening sitting with her showing her how to do it. megan says her dad always helps her with her homework.
my dad didn’t come home this weekend. he doesn’t come home many weekends, but this time it was for good. my mum said that was just the risk of his job, but i caught her crying while she polished glasses behind the bar. i never understood all the things my friends say they do with their dads. i suppose now, i never will.

WORTHY (TEAM FREE WILL)
SPN TFW poem, dean POV, s5ep13: the song remains the same.
.
Finally, worthy. Worth something
good? Something righteous?
Finally; because
bringing up my brother
—only a dumb child myself—
meant dragging him behind me
like Jacob Marley's chains,
and that really doesn't count.
.
Finally, worthy. Worth something
reputable? Something honorable?
Finally; because you failed him.
Your one and only job.
Not even recognising
another addict in the family.
"You're more like him than I'll ever be."
(open to interpretation).
.
Finally, worthy. Worth something
favourable? Something Noble?
Finally; because I tried. I tried so hard
and it wasn't even close
to good enough. He called me
his Right Hand Man like it was
an insult. I could never live
up to her sacred memory.
.
Finally, worthy. Worth something
acceptable? Something virtuous?
Finally; because maybe, maybe I'm more
than the the high-school diploma
I didn't get? More than that
six bucks burning a hole
in my back burner, my unholy denim
pocketful of holes.
.
Finally, worthy. Worth something
admirable? Something pure?
Finally; because somebody believes.
Someone of his calibre believes.
In me. One from above believes
in all of the above… I'm incredulous,
yeah, but also thrilled. Free, to answer
a better calling—maybe even... more?
.
Finally, worthy. Worth something
positive. Something just.
Finally; because I'm finally
sure of something other
than things going bump in the night;
sure of something worthy of my voice
not mocking when I say its name:
Team Free Will, goddammit.
.

A Postcard to my PTSD
I don't believe in ghosts but I know what it's like to be haunted by them.
Some days, there is a vestige of the woman I might have become. She is sitting cross-legged in the grass on a late August afternoon, reading the palms of children to distract them from the bees. She is carefully picking up shards of broken beer bottle glass off of the sidewalk so that no dog shall cut his paw. She says 'let's feed the fish' and stuffs her ceramic fish bank full of coins in anticipation of a rainy day.
She lies dormant and breathless under the fetid junkyard heap of other people's hang-ups, other people's insecurities, other people's trauma. Usually. But some days I am the woman I might have become.
If only for a moment.
