Sky Drippings

Dropped from the sky, a lover with forbidden tendencies

As injustice reigns like red acid sun drops

ripping a fiery burn through an open dark grey umbrella,

as a face underneath peaks out…

the rain clouds give way to old memories of a girl’s childhood

Brooklyn Day

dentists with free toothbrushes

and mom.

Smiles grow into fears grow into pain into sores into death

into traveling into moving away into eyes averting when tears bleed

but - when its time to move back into life and walk, walk , walk

like a newborn baby learning, stumbling, crying, starting,

a young girl turns into a woman

her white feathered wings extend, flap, flutter, open, gather wind

swirl like a tornado, and dust soars.

Transition

When, time and space don’t exist,

yet stand upon the ethereal platform of creation

I was a girl. Helping those in need.

Now, creativity flows in flux

dripping in drops like blood onto styrofoam,

spreading as soon as

plop!

it hits

expanding like an ant colony gossiping and gathering food

I think of you,

my grizzly bear who gathers honey

from my honeycomb

all I can be is candid with you

Sweet love you are a source of stability

like a telephone pole in a storm

thunder and lightening twirling around your stable base

rocking gently with the wind and I am a bird upon your lines

Short Poem

clarity comes to me in teardrops forming dewdrop sadness as if a crystal drop falls on a green leaf and hangs there still: I must let you go little by little
