matrona - Hello Poetry

The last few hours Time ticked ticked ticked Oblivious to the circle Of change Initiated by outright Terror. Wide awake at 4 AM. Bright lightnight on. Hello morning. Sleep at dawn To begin A new day Tired Spent Waiting For early disruptive evening Rest. Tick tock tick tock tick "please stop watching the clock" Home. Bed. Rest.

Pink plastic prickly Stuck at weird angles Threaten To tear out already thin Brown and gray hair. Liar! Or crazy. A nightmare to the rescue, A ghost standing right over there, Don't get in that dryer. That's not a safe place to play Hide and seek. Liar! Crazy! Oh but love and love and Lovey love. Liar! Crazy! *** and coke will make One run and choke. Liar. Crazy. Mix ketchup with scrambled eggs Eat, pull hair, look at new baby. Go through the motions. It never happened. Liar! Crazy! Houseguest to the rescue. Ghost dressed in Familiar clothes. Nakedness, no need to expose. Garden instead.

In our breath Closer than our couch Humming With electricity Outside too But remember not so far Close So we want to cover up. Near and intimate Knowing every thought Not a stalker! Haha! Not! Closer still Sensing every sense Smells our skin Soft and calloused there Hovering Infusing Indwelling I'm denying.

Green Blood artery flows Jagged rocks on bare feet And wide open blue skies A path, well-worn, brown dirt lined with high grass, A daisy bouquet offered By a motherless faun Left looking now it rains Refuses shelter Frightened defenseless yet defending With cries that won't hurt me Follow me? - I'm not mother Enter my home? I'm motherless too.
