About This Author
A changeling spirit,
constantly evolving,
revolving around an inner core,
spinning forth legend and lore,
stories and lives
as I come to grips
with who and what I am,
have been and may be.
I am a phoenix:
rising ever above and beyond!

Restrictions: None
Extinction
Superman's closet
is a dinosaur;
long-necked head
dangling unfed,
starving for a dime.
Just hanging
around, waiting.
No longer toned
or necessary. Fossil
of the future--handled.
Once upon a connection
when disconnected from home;
we carry our world
in our back pocket now.
Operators mute.
Spare change
now destined for jars--
once kept for that
emergency call.
Collect when broke.
Numbers memorized.
We kept contact lists
in our brains. I still
remember my number as a child.
I know no numbers now.
Forgotten quarter left in change slot,
once a treasure. Unexpected extra moment
or two to say 'I love you.'
one more time. Sadly,
that's extinct too.
