My rib cage is parted, a bird's nest inside. The
pebbles and sticks guard my lungs. Sparrows
peck at the hollows of my heartstrings and
feast on aortic valves.

Fledgling no longer, She sails through the night,
Past the dark days, her soul; it takes flight,

Woman she becomes, Knowledge she consumes,
The past she revels in, history she exhumes,

Nest she builds; stained from ancestral blood,
Life no longer contained, now emotional flood,

Parallel Pair; numerical symmetry,
May she live long; another plus Century.

Best of wishes to you. May you succeed in all of your future endeavors.

Sometimes
when you're sleeping and I can't
sleep,
my mind races.
There are things you don't know
about me.

My hand
on your shoulder and traveling
down.
You notice
and turn around and smile
at me.

It's your
half-asleep, eyes-closed smile, those
red
red lips that
will keep me forever
silent.
