...Shelley wove us a tale of a monster more a man
A fleshy beast without, a broken heart within
Created in hubris and sin
Stitched together and broken
Again and again.
Frayed and tattered

Thorns
...These splintered heavy thorns,
Shardlike that scatter round,
Entrapped in endless turmoil,
The need to ascend the abyss.
To mend back the unmended,
Unwind the twists of fate,
Break free of me...

No More a Woman
...The rainy season is on the land
I see much sward without sand
It’s like music of a good band
Trees have grown striking flowers
A strong wind makes’em shaken off
Down, many fall; others stick m...

Unmended
...That hurt little boy, sad way down deep
Survives trapped in that aging body
Enigmatic and misunderstood

Always ext...

Mended Zafu, Unmended Sitter
...worn-white zafu,
dented permanently
and wryly receiving
my bottom and my word
"permanently."
It shows impressions
from my demanding waitings,
just as my mind does.
Ah! The problem....

Who I Am

Not because I want to be, but because I have to be
I have no name, no identity
I am a blank face in a blank world
There is no color, only blacks and whites
When I open my eyes

The Doormat
...THE DOORMAT
Closing its eyes
The doormat sighs
A sad rough tired sigh that breaks my heart
It cannot move, for the wounds will ache
It cannot stretch,, for the joints are all worn.
A sad smile...

Just What I Am
...I am a free spirit in a cage
Locked away I can’t fly
I need the open space
I’ve been beaten and broken
Scars run deep bleeding
My spirit clipped
My heart unmended
Save me set me free
Let me fly let m...
