Nail splitting pain

The color tide crosses over iris

Petrified I stand trying to watch all walls and failing

Guarded. They stand watch over me whispering edging closer

Flapping wings they peck peck peck at me like crows on rotted flesh-

My fists bang bang bang interrupted offenses against the force-

Beautiful bowl

Fulfilling a dream

I met a painting woman near Canada a’ traveling.
She spoke to me of her lifetimes passing.
She spoke of her search for harmony and happiness.
She spoke of her hardships with selfishness and sadness.

I listened intently to her stories of lovers
her battle with pride and forgiving her mother.
But

what indecent thing have we become?
Chain smoking over poems about

In safe houses we wallpapered
with diary pages and news clippings
trading knit caps for paper roses
