Life is Brutal
Always been
from the time
we brought
down animals
by ourselves
No advantage
but brain, that
brain got us
in a lot of rain
Now we have
advantage over
everything
our weapons
still get smarter

Email to a Friend
Email to a Friend
I tried to write
an email to a friend
all night the phone
rang and rang and
rang again
I lived in voice write
phone call friends
I tried to write
rather than call
an email to a friend

Witch Hunt
Witch Hunt
He’s after me
he’s always after me
before me
beside me
behind me
his presence heavy
he’s always after me
I duck and weave
smile until my face cracks
I disintegrate on the
floor beneath
gasping for breath
from the frontal attack
he’s always after me
He can tell if I’ve had
something to drink
he’s after me as he
swills his beers
okay for him but not
for me
he’s always after me
I live in fear each moment
he never lets up so I sneak
sips and puffs
a disgusting way to live
in ultimate paranoia
I am an adult with free will
it is dangerous to assert myself
Why do I live like this
he's always after me
I'm afraid to leave
a sad admission
I am a coward
I am one of those women
beaten down
Now I am his caregiver
after angry days we embrace
there is still love and caring
still respect and yet why
do I live like this
he's always after me
it is dangerous

Evening
Evening
All day storm advances
inky sky threatens
lightening shoots sparks
sunset bathes clouds
in feathery scarlet
puddles a mirage of wet colors
I sway in doubt lost in a hole
from too close introspection

I Need a Massage
I Need a Massage
Strong fingers working
muscles, tendons, bones
I need a knead working
muscles, tendons, bones
staff of life making bread
it begins in the nest

Against the Wall
Against the Wall
Concrete rigidity
how do I do that
against the wall
Beaten each day
against the wall
how do I do that
I fluid through it
