Antique Store
I took my periodic stroll through the local antique store today.
I stumbled over things and stepped 'round clutter to make my way!

Earth-Woman
I am woman and I have borne the Torah on a gold cloth
over my shoulder.
I have consecrated its dust-leadened parchment,
cradling the scrolls into temple darkness...
clicked-shut the doors, saddened and empty.
I am of childbearing...

Two titans faced off, ambition held high.

Well really that’s not my concern
It won’t bother me if I’m under a tree
Or stuck on a shelf in an urn

Freed from the angst of memory
Sought naught the mitre...
