Frozen River Navigated

Uninhabitable spaces swirl
unseen. Unknown.

Poles driven snow deep -
angry waters flow deeper.

Life below struggles, creviced in.
Tumbled rocks put up little fight.

No light permeates. Shadows cease.
Missionary birds garble to my ears alone.
　
Warm boots crunch under the sun.

MeKu

My nerves bitter fruit
left too long hang dripping ready
to explode on the ground



~Sabrina

Crashed

Life’s shattered shards
strewn about; reflecting
bits and pieces back at me.

Wind howls, the wolves -
are long gone.
It was no life -

for a Lady, such as I.
Madness at each turn.
Sorrow for straight

stretches at a time.
The fast lane- too
close for comfort.

Often, I drove
with my eyes closed.

I Got What I Need

The man promised me things
I wished to have.
Things I thought I needed.

I would open my weary
body to his three minutes
of getting off,

(night, after, boring night)
& I never did get
that bedroom set I wanted.

The children are beautiful though~

To Fear Words - Be A Poet

To be a poet
One must not

Fear secrets
Each time
A memory
Releases

Worries
Or
Remnants of
Desires
Sincere

Strip Poker

If I listened with the ears of a wolf -
many nights hungry - moon full
& bright - Would the wind speak,

again, low & hushed - of your secret
desires? For me? You showed me
your hand; a full house, with too

many queens. Mine; a heart filled
flush. I ran - lest I lose it all
next deal - and refused my win.

Too many queens in your hand.
Banish them! Then - let the cards
fall - and - we will allow our hands

freedom - to go - where they may…
