I have drowned in this dark lonely sea for so long
I have forgotten what it was like before to be strong
No chains needed, just the water pressure kept me down here
No light within sight, I have given up all dreams already
The drift upwards starts on its own in its own time
The healing never feels like it is actually there at all
I can’t find even a sound of hope from a chime
Up and up I ascend, slowly but surely, I will rise
A faint light after centuries of darkness finally emerges at last
I now resurface with my life, light, liberty, and soul restored

Raised Iron works
thrust out of the blacktop.
Women-hole covers
appear; the tip of the spear
above new drilled silos.
Rubber slugs concrete.
Debora steers her way
through a slalom of
gender specific movements.
The road bucks under
her taught belly,
while fingers push
a wheel through
a video game maze.
Long laboring feminists
under hard hats
are digging her,
so she just smiles -
tries to relax.

resurfacing self doubt
recurring negative
self talk emerging
once again after
being buried for
so long within
the recesses of
the subconscious mind

SHE SPOKE TO CURVE HIS FEELINGS
THE VERY FEELINGS THAT
SHE DECIDED TO AROUSE
SHE WOKE HIM AS HE WAS SLEEPING
ONLY TO HEAR HER WHISPERING SOUNDS
THEY MADE COMPLEX THE WAYS
TO SHATER THE THOUGHTS OF THOSE
VERY PEOPLE SHE WISHED TO DELIGHT
CARING AND ENDORING IN PRIVATE
YET IN PUBLIC
THEY BEHAVED ANOTHER WAY
MAYBE TO ENTERTAIN THOSE
WHO FOUND IT WORTH TALKING ABOUT
THOSE THEY DEEMED ENTERTAINMENT
THOSE WHO'S CHARACHTER SEEMED LESSER OR
UNWORTHY OF WHAT THEY SAW AS APPEAL
WHY, AND THAN WORDS
SPOKEN ARIFFED THE FRUSTRY
INDUSTING PEOPLE TO GAIN
AND THEN BE LESSER THAN
WHAT WORDS SPEAKS TO THOSE WHO WISH
TO BE HEARD, LIKED PR LOVED?
WHAT TOPIC SPEAKS TO THOSE WHO WISH TO HEAR
WHAT WORDS!

Waiting to enter,
Our eyes moved up, then down.
A leaf- fell- on ice.
