I found a reason

feminism had to happen

to this country

Without it we'd die out

Timid are the men here

When everything seems off

feels unfamiliar

Let it be, why not

 I clear the work space and wait...

First come distractions: 

thirst, chocolate nudges

dreams, plans

Here come the kids

then needs

Waiting...

Can't I just fall in love & call it a day?

what is the reason for this delay...

I felt to myself

and found out my love language

is Surprise

P.S. I loved driving this car. "Yo, passenger! Get out and switch the hub locks!" 

baptisma pyros

I felt were I to scream

I would burn down the floor

the people below, the house

Ire swept the room clean, spotless 

In that new emptiness I unraveled myself

took on its shape, there was enough space

to be me - unwedged, uninsulated

anger-stripped of all fears, prejudice 

Don't back away, I'm warmer now
