and I am, today, sick with excuses to avoid responsibility
with "I'm just a mortal human. I make mistakes.
I judge situations and relationships,
assess potential risks to care and nourishing...

I had my plan memorized, 
and I picked the right time.
I walked into the bank 
when there was no line.
I walked up to the teller

we learn directly by soft touch

ELEGY WRITTEN ON THE DEATH
OF A PARAMOUR
How many faces shroud
A paramour ?
One, two, more!

Genetic thread bestowed
Chewing wild passions
Bit by bit
Anaconda devouring tender deer
Deliciously.
Adolescent love
Infatuations
Treacherous;
And on by virtue...

craving her way through the  darkest enclaves
strolling her way through her doubtful fogs
leaving them behind, but did  she know?

Hidden in the maze by branches arching with caresses
Where promiscuous light is falling gentle fingers to their pools
Tiny cloisters of remembering summers thriving...

Embodied
Adam’s Rib?
Adam’s Rib, or did you come from Adam’s Rib?,
Were you a progeny of Man,
Or rather grafted by the cosmos, in the image of sacred splendor,

Round and Tender,
Is it your shape that...

 no one’s expectations,

Most of my life
my left shoulder sheltered it
while my right shoulder threw darts its way.
Sometimes it shivered in the cold of my eyes.
