"screaches" poems
They plunge into life
**** oxygen in their lungs
Cough up the water
Cold and alone-scream
Light burns their delicate eyes
Yearning for our touch
Accelerated pulse
Panic screaches from their lips
I hold my hands out
Grasp them in my arms
Press their pale pink flesh to mine
Show them they are safe
Plant them with a kiss
The storms calm inside their brains
Heartbeat to heartbeat
They flutter their lids
Comprehend and recognize
Love wholeheartedly
I am their mother
They are prefect-everything
They are my children.

Answering machine is full.
The Phone been off the hook for a week.
I was preoccupied.
You thought i lied, could I have died?
Was it ****** or suicide?
I got your letter.
returned to sender.
The little things you don't remember.
I never got the letter
Must have been the bad weather.
The blood stamped paper
I read it state:
"Your silence is the shotgun to my head.
Without you I'd rather be dead.
That is what i feel, I'd hate to fail.
But this is real your silence is screaming.
I haven't been eating, I find this silence defeating
P.S. My scars are re opened.
P.P.S. These ones aren't healing"

Left me hanging
a slow sway
the swing screaches -
loud and long.
Rusty
worn out
..swaying..
the wind stopped
it came to a halt
motionless
alone-
A silent storm
