Poems
May 2020
fate is not a cage
when you first kissed me
all starlight and fireflies,
crackling embers, trembling hands
our lips found each other and
coyotes howled in perfect time
for so long I thought that meant something about fate, about us
no..
the magic was just me
I am the one who grew up in that forest nurtured by the trees, running barefoot through the sun streaks
sitting quiet as the birds sang circled around me;
cradling hurt, that soft broken creature and sipping rain from the jewelweed
that power was my electric need wild in my veins, in the roots around me and in the wanton caress of breeze in my hair
you were simply
there.
