Caren Krutsinger Poet Tanka

Looking Into Myself

Looking into myself
I choose my mood wisely
Throwing off braggadocio mask. 
Unique task requires empath woman
And a bit of warrior queen
Impulsive out-of-control loud mouth girl
Waiting in the shadows, hoping to be summoned.
I smile, knowing we will be baring our teeth
At each other before the task is complete.
She lets out a tiny primal scream.
Showing me she is ready.
