she said….

"..SHE SAID I SEE YOUR MINDS ILLUMINATED
SHOW ME WHAT MAKES YOUR SOUL CONSCIOUS
SHOW ME WHERE YOUR HEART IS
TELL ME WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO MAKE EARTH YOUR HOME
…I POINTED AT HER."

reminders to be kind...

i am returning to kindness

a place where I am strong in my softness.

i will start by kissing all of my scars and washing then in rain

collecting dust from long journeys off

my feet.

the way they carry weariness from crossing rivers that should have had bridges.

I will return to build crossing paths over waters that reminded me to be kind.

still...

I still feel the madness rushing through me,

but I still haven’t gotten the word down the way I want it, the tiger is still on my back.

What you did….

I've learned that people will forget what you said,

people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Dissolve...

I am in the mood to dissolve in the sky.

Irina by Julia Hetta for another magazine ss 2013

I still...

I still cry over her.

Empty palms and rosebushes. 

The day she left 

I clipped all the flowers in my mother’s garden back

and left them to rot 

in a bucket

on our front porch, a weary welcome mat.

Spring reminds me of her fingers and how grass grows,

chilled, without her warm breath.
