I experiment being real
asking, spacing then dodging
The tears are true, what about
everything else
modified to fit the truth
of today
Would I be so distressed
were I so independent
Would I believe all talk
of trauma, abandonment
just to blame the one who
couldn't do his best
as I saw it
So was it love?
 

 

 

So many creations in this life
that will never abandon me
Like the light
that shows up every day
and makes me gasp at the beauty
it reveals to my eyes
I keep a hold onto
the only creation that did
leave me
Do I not know he's the light
that's coming back in me
Grace
 

 

Garter Snake Line

 

We treated ourselves to
bonbons of chocolate
(they had butter in them, didn't they?)
He told me hugs are
imperative to life
And gave me two yellow
one brown-coloured lines
So
I'll never be touchless again
 

 

Fire in Ice

Ares and Aphrodite
walking mountaintops
together
Over the peaceful valley
