As I fall apart a little louder every day

years pour out of me, months of silence

I thank and thank those close to me

for willingly getting covered with the thick

tacky, sappy, fermented pain that's not theirs

and those who come out of nowhere

sharing the warmth of their hearts with me

giving gifts of love I don't remember

I thank you

I thank you.

Iberian statues

would have been fun

to discover on the bottom of Siene

painted by Picasso

in summertime

I look at people,
but how often I recognize them
as people 

*** 

Today I repent

all my anger, distrust

and annoyance

every passionate moment

of evil

Today I finally felt

oh, god

my energy waste

You must see it as well -

that gold ocean

out of which in one thought

a river can flow -

the precious supply

to be weaved into

Life

of our dreams.

Three loads of laundry - done

the house is mopped and cleaned

the dishes - put away

my kids are fed:

like every day

it must be Mother's Day,

again

Day by day

and every moment I accept

and grab her hand

It's cold, it's soft, or maybe red

It tugs on me, she walks with me

And shows me wild, wild worlds.

The comfort and

the knowing she's always here

with me, for me

In sickness and in health

The hands of Titan Thoughts.

So tell me, how could I let go of that?
