was to remember just how
you said you would touch me!

Opposing Connections
naked, flawed, damaged
frigid, aged, unwilling, stale
ashamed, sad, angry
naked, raw, alive
connected, safe, beautiful
real, warm, touched, cherished

Evolution
naked, i sit perched on my mattress,
borne free of it sheets,
like an egg gently teetering
back and forth before i fall.
silently i ask my arms to coil
around me repeating their embrace,
mimicking the lengths of rope used
to moor a ship to its dock-
tight and safe and steady, so i
will not drift unexpectedly into
the vast and unpredictable sea.
anguish internalized,
reverberates in my bones
causing tension in my sinew,
validating my existence to the faintly
pulsing heart i shelter within
my delicate shell.
only dry, purposeless breath
escapes my lips.
a hot wind over the back side of
the mirror like a heat wave
making the elusive image
of my face waver and fade.
a mischievous mirage!
i am a woman, i am a
child ,the present and past
collide, a thundering din
peels loud and long,
survived only by the silent
sparkling shards of my soul,
scattered on the floor,
blinking back at me!

A Little Prayer
Rest of night come quickly upon me,
calm my weary mortal soul.
wrap my mind in darkened solace,
cradle me in peace!
Rest of night come quickly upon me,
heal and comfort my aching heart;
purify my dreams with starlight
as I begin to dream tonight.

Early Morning
the air outside my window
is as still as my
heart wants to be
the yellow sun prying its way
through the slatted blinds
is laughing at me
the promise of the
new day winds its
vibrant fingers tightly
around my heart
suffocating gasps of grief
conspire with hiccups escaping
the reservoirs of realization
as awareness creeps over the
peaks of my mind
illuminating the microcosm
of my existence
clarity perfects my vision so that
i can see
that the glory of this day
is not intended for me
