I lost my heart on the edge of eternity.
I dropped it off there thinking we would come back.
Thinking we would come through, but we broke paths.
We lost our maps, we lost each other.

The Waves of Uncertainty

There is truth in my waves of uncertainty, their message hidden in the foam of my eyes. Don't look to the glass within my heart, it shatters much too easily from words of the wise. Today is a lovely day, for a swim in the oil. The clouds roll on in, and the rising of the sand. Black scales le

One suicide too preventable.

One hurt too much. One dream too big. One tear too many. One time too trusting. One fear too great. One reason too small. One pain too unbearable. One lie too believable. One friend too lost. One heart too broken. One scar too fresh. One cut too deep. One girl now dead.

my ask of the witches

not to be critical but in considering the state of our union the state of our world - why have you witches not yet unionized and become more fully engaged? has the time for your focus your concerted action not at long last arrived? we look to the past: slavery genocide the inquisition the black plague World Wars one and two and now - !!! all of which indicates despite multitudes kneeling - praying as theory does not work we need a critical mass a tipping point a 'cleansing conflagration' [only of a sort of course] let's not get carried away however: you await numbers so - expand begin a draft share the craft unite the covens light the ovens [figuratively of course] become vast become exponential identify problems battle problems eliminate problems having become a colossus - thus saving our planet - thus saving us all we should be endlessly grateful to you and if you would I say again - please don't get carried away but - come October have a great

I Sat Down to Write...

I sat down to write… when a black kitten entered my room with a catnip mouse that dangled from her mouth from its blue yarn tail which she dropped onto the floor before she gazed at me with doleful yellow eyes and mewled for a game of fetch I sat down to write… when the water stopped its usual flow throughout our household and prompted a trip outside to a dilapidated shed to fiddle with the fuse box for our pump until the gauge showed full pressure once again I sat down to write… when the freezer for the refrigerator kept in our garage

The Cello's Lament

They call me brute. I'm permitted to chant, but they won't let me Sing. They've confused non-agility for inflexibility— my belly enfolds the earth; my throat trills at the stars; my eyes embrace the cays of the sea. I am an omnivore, yet they will only feed me leaves.

Strangers

Have you ever wondered What strangers think of you Most of us make judgments Those who don’t are few So many different faces With a million unknown names Each one with a tale to tell Of success, of misfortune, or of shame What separates a stranger From one you truly know You never see the real them Only what they choose to show We could spend our whole life searching For who we want to be I don’t even know who I am How can you say you know me We are strangers to ourselves

Holocaust

Round up the Jews To burn in their masses, Poison them all With the noxious gases. Herd in the flock Like lambs to the slaughter, Spare non their lives Not mother, not daughter. Roll on the production line, Make no waste. Cut hair, take glasses, Process them with haste, Weave cloth from their braids, Melt down all the metal. For an inferior race, We will not settle. ‘Arbeit Macht Frei’ Works makes you free. Now they're lining the chambers With Zyklon B. No use anymore, Too old, too weak. But of their deaths We do not speak. For millions were murdered For one simple reason- To Hitler it felt They were comm

Remember -the Holocaust-

There’s blood stained on these empty streets Ghostly footsteps breathe on me This was a place once full of life But now it has drowned in misery The shattered glass of Kristallnacht Like stars in the sky Sparkle in the black streets around me Like tears of a silenced cry I walk along tainted railroad tracks Wondering what horror has swallowed it It leads me to the train of death A train of memories coldheartedly slashed and split The souls’ cries become tears that flow down my cheeks Too many lives have perished here I run from what I cannot understand Pierced by six million haunted fears Six million of my people cas

borderlines.

i watch you tread gently on the edges of yourself, remaining in the penumbra between all and nothing - a sub-atomic mystery unable to be solved. yesterday, you couldn't decide whether to fuse or fold back together and instead curled inward underneath your own spine like a rose crushed in a fist, only the fist forgot to show up and roses don't grow in hospitals. some days, love, you are almost radioactive enough to be a half-life. i think this is the saddest thing of all because on those days i find myself believing you might just make it.

Love or Homicide

She watches her children struggle through the pain, Fully aware their efforts are in vain. Twice in her life, with no amount of ease, She witnessed a death by this horrid disease. The mother tried her best to comfort and pray As her loved ones worsened with each passing day. The years drag on with no end in sight. Her mind starts a war over what's wrong and what's right As she recalls the pleas they made in the past, Begging for her to make that day their last. Now, she resolves, their attempts won't be vain. She'll free her children of the increasing pain. Two shots bring them peace and ends their ordeal While their mother gain

Literature

Bulimia

And she's unfurled string In the closet room, A red dress against A black-and-white world. She's crying butter tears As she tries to be sugar-free And extra light, Feather lips and feather fingers. She bubble wraps her ribs To insulate her heart, Trying to keep something in As she forces everything else out. She's got a bucket full of words on her bedside, Vomiting poetry at the dead of night, Throwing up angry words and monsters, Clawing their way up her throat. And she's spilt acid On the bathroom floor, Fingers in her mouth and nails against her neck She can't stop retching secrets.
