I am
teaching
myself
to
roll with it.

Do you want to live in stone?

At moments like these
I lash out at the slightest little thing
That seems wrong
Can't help but to think of them as
Cruelties thrown into my face
By the stars.

I am proud
to be
an American Woman.

fade
fade out
I have
no idea
how it's supposed to be
real
unreal
shift in
and out
now will it only
fade out
now will we only hear
ringing silence
what will be remembered
was it once supposed to be
how will it feel
after our time
has faded out?

warthogs
trot by
with their tails
in the air.

the beautiful thing about infants
is they speak no language
yet everyone understands.
