She spoke to me
about the semantics of shame,
the seduction and flame,
the name of the pain,
lunatic loop of lost meaning,
complaining of symptoms remaining
robust and teething
weighing upon me
morning through evening
like a stoney smoke stifling,
misidentifying the madness
of this sadness as inherent illness
primordial and permanent,
the face of Her wisdom
a jewel of enlightenment,
a catharsis burning on the coals
of my ingrown crown,
Her voice vouches for my vim
as she says to me with a cerulean sympathy,
The Mind must make Itself
as a heart must learn to heat the soul,
emote to promote the promise of your pulse,
you are not a puzzle
you are a powerful purpose,
emotions are the lights of your eyes
the colors of your concepts,
the verve of your values,
find no shame from your sensitivity,
make love with your intensity...

Non, hairy, haven,
The momma possum’s bosom,
Purse pouch vouches safe,
For babies facing drama,
Momma's death by car trauma!
In Honor Of: Chris Aechtner & Contest: Sanctuary
Baby opossums are so well protected in their mother's pouch that when she suffers a fatal
trauma, such as getting hit by a car , the baby possums often remain unharmed.

Hammered glue striking blue in moods
she lay there in pool of her own
working hard and fast she had got that
thoughts were full and act was a pull
validation lay in thoughts she vowed by that
disarming and endearing she had proclaimed
not once but several times hence
whether it is an act of her own
or that of any other
she vouches and remains
with a name
that's no longer a game
throes of zenith
and calm of nadir
has her breathe long
she is on swan song
feeling husky and musky
her juices for now
quite gone
tired and feeling sired
she rummages and slinks
to her bed
for a stupor filled
rest with the zest
