Premium Member Sheltering in Her Cowry Shell


securely sheltering it in her shell
       nurturing while within
             heeding to each gentle whisper
                   to each tap from tiny feet
in time She curls it in her embrace
       caresses it in her hug     
              fondles it with boundless care
                     cuddles it with sweetish love-
when fully fledged, sailing the high sea
             will it care for the cowry shell, its first home!


The Hunt

Panicked tiny footprints, zigzag, sharp;
Each an arrow hungry for direction.
Across them, newer, the fully-fledged
Outlines of boots, strong, deep.

Ahead, the bootprints side by side,
Suddenly, decisively:  imagine the arms.
Further on still, the arrows stagger,
Stop, and fading blood reds the way. 

This is the tale the snow tells,
Along the ugly, thorn-jagged hedge.
Its record is brief, the warmer winds
Of oblivion will sweep in, soon, too soon.

He and I

he did not make me whatever it is that i am

he does not control what i do with my hands

he did not define what thoughts run through my mind

he does not dictate what words i will find

he did not allow me to break free of this grasp

he does not stop me from completing this task

he did not speak when i told him my aims

he does not participate in my intricate games

he did not stop me from becoming fully fledged

he simply pushed me when i got too close to the edge
