A Life Hit
A Life Hit
ThIt was a life hit,
A one after the other:
For first, there was the coma,
And just the idea of it
To struggle with, but then,
Afterwards my eyesight smudged
Spaces, altered them, imposed
Textures, shapes and colors.
This was diagnosed
(A complication from my coma)
As Charles Bonnet syndrome.
Hmmm...
Tough call for an artist —
Already dealing with proliferative
retinopathy, and its

Growing Up Wearing a Muzzle
I remember growing up,
I mean when I was very small
I was not a bad girl at all.

breaking the clam
waters that have
settled down after
time spent in silence

Muzzle Loader
Above my hearth rests a muzzle loader I know not how old.
Ah, could it speak, what adventurous tales to be told!
Oft I've caressed it and pondered time and again,

Muzzle Flash
it stayed in the chamber cause the safety was on
never ripping through the barrel, the target left unharmed
couldn't smell the sulphur or see the muzzle flash
you should have aimed more carefully if you wanted it to last
you got to feel the excitement of the live round in the chamber
standing in the little booth surrounded by

Metaphorical Muzzle
dizzying array of situations...with which to contend
time...that old adversary... has it's way
but it can even mend
moments can quite puzzle
so written words my friend
become my metaphorical muzzle
