i look back
and i can't seem to feel it
but i do
and you know-
and you see right thru
it's golden hurt
that lasts always...
and the way that it hurts
is the worst.  but it works my heaven bones
and it drones orchestral
a violent choir of jubilation and startled sparrows !
you leave me no choice and that is beautiful.
my slavery is so free
i could leave you
to come back
to me.

by now.

thougthless women they are
she says she loves her child
she let her child be in hazard of so many problems
she knows the consequences
but she may not quit her  infatuation to fashion
even though she says she loves her child
and knows consequences
who can teach her what love is ?
not her child, than who ?
who can open her mind and heart and say :
look this hurts, don’t do it.

despite their numbers
she never learned
her craft
from
them

it was poetry
that started it
the revolution
in her

1.
I have in my fingers
A blade of grass
For company.



2.
Nature helps the mind to see
How things change all the time.

Yes, I should welcome change more readily.



3.
It's just.....

It's just the secrets you keep all hid
From me
From us.

Like a new toy
You don't wanna share.

That,
I can't stand.



4.
Ever the near-invisible threads... barely touching
The outstretched branches show
So much.

Oh, how Nature plans
Yet
Accommodating

All.



5.
Ants and insects scurry along their busy path
Oblivious to the fray
Unseen by human eye.

Petals blossom, open eyes
In the the middle of the desert.

Perched high on treetops
Shiny leaves, nests nearby
Boast depth of intricacy and
Delicate motif.


Yet....



6.
Canst thee be content, also
To see also thorns upon thy path?

For, it's the background of it all
Which helps prepare our reading
Of some (hard) things we discover
Along the way.



7.
Why, naturally.

Foggy to the minds
Yet so clear to many hearts
Unbelievable

They say the pills have
A long half life
Like nuclear waste.
Carbon.
Dividing and dissolving
Away the sadness
Oh-so tangible
A tangerine of despair.
"Orange is the new black,"
They say
