I could have danced my loss away, but all I could do was to sample stand
and record it in my mind as it happened, sharply they took pieces of my skin
away along. There was much I could do, my mind momentarily frozen...
I wrote this when I got mugged and my phone and other accessories were taken and got stabbed trying to resist. My only friend has always been pan and paper.

I can skip, whip words
connect deeper

but I am rejected
a threat

and live
the periphery

to all
who claim

WE ARE THE
CHOSEN

you cannot
argue

with those
who

think they
are perfect.

your auric

glow's fragrant...

saints of all stripes

pile up to lift that

wedding dress.

rain beats

thoughtfully against

expectant eyes

of love.

unblinkingly focused...

she unwinds

between raindrops.

I’ll be your crime scene
Break down the front door for me
Handle me with delicacy
Put on your gloves and touch me softly

Take me to the courtroom
Swear on your life for me
The truth and nothing but the truth
My heart’s waiting on the table

I love you more than anything
