tangled words
out the throat
only wheezing
escapes
jammed in the
narrow passage
all letters of the
alphabet
blunt or sharp
like a spear
a pen with
no ink
leap into
the unknown
fear aside
inhale
a tale about
raw diamonds
yearning to be
discovered
…shine

body of an angel
wings dark feathers
time to pursue
vegan leathers
off the high horse
out with charts
stop the bets
have the smarts
steadfast approach
change of seasons
eating flesh
has no reasons
who keeps pets
in their house
a comfy bed
next to the spouse
what’s for dinner
they do ask
prep some chook
put on the mask
one is poultry
one is a pet
one we pay for
to see the vet
so blindfolded
we often are
our habits
rather bizarre
time to wake up
to get real
all past dramas
we can heal
next time we expect
an incoming stork
let’s prepare it for
dishes eaten by
a fork

stop wait
now slowly
ever so slowly
move to the rhythm
of a handpan
celestial sound
coming out of
that precious ufo
shaped instrument
blissed
exploding inside
healing the cells
in the place of music
divine melody
in sync
stagnant energies
leaving the body
fresh new air
filling the lungs
alive
staying present
in this minute
experience
cheerful joy
vibrating
peace

glass ceiling
shattered into
tiny shards
They walked
in to this era
boldly
earlier led by
Him — while She
stood behind
unheard
misunderstood
silently choking
suddenly
change of colors
a rainbow
books rewritten
history became
Their-story
Her place
forgotten
His forsaken
unified
turned into
Theirs
