sleeping in a corner
‘neath old handmade quilts.
scrubbing scarred floors
with pinesol pride mops….
while the smell of cornbread and
beans hangs in the air…..
stuffing cracks in the windows
against the cold…
kerosene heater,
2 five gallon cans….
a bare light bulb
hangs over the table….
they sit in silence….
reading and thinking…
the old car in the drive,
might crank, and might not….
but that’s tomorrow….
and tonite,
they’re almost warm!
i am the key,the hand on the knob.i am the whisperof your soul aching.the light in your eyes,your tears as you sob.you are the last page,in this book unfinished.you are the candle,no one else can light.you are the flood,that cant be diminished.you are the dawn,in my darkest night.we are the sound and the echo,yesterday and…
born needing, born wanting….left alone on an island…we lift our beaks to the sky,gulping for flesh, gulping for air,gulping for fire….still smelling of ocean,and something dark we cant name,we run into the open,running, not knowing where.i cannot livewithout the taste of darkness,the smell of flesh,and the touch of thatwhich is hidden…i shout into the ocean,and…
…in….your……own……..bed,what we have done,……and are doing,…to….planet……earth!
till all was lostexcept the memory of you.even the world anew,born with an ache,and an absence of heart,that dawn could not heal.among the ruins and the rubble,a solitary flower bloomed.while the dogs of desire sniffed,never picking up a scent!even the walls of the cave,mumbled prayers in a whisper…and god wept,while ants marched to destruction!
not some freak!she has feelings and dreams,just like you!she works hard, harder than most,and gets things done,in spite of……she loves to read and to think,her mind is not warped….she doesnt want your pity,she wants your respect.she’s human, not a joke,she’s nobody’s mistake,with a heart open and caring….she can do what you can,and maybe even more….for…
Himself/Herself throughinfinite forms.how dare we differentiatebetween the sacred and the mundane!if you want to see God,look around you!if you want to feel God,touch the earth…touch the hand of a stranger.if you want to know God,live!
