All That Is Me
Cut me from the gristle of this world.Boil me up in a tall hot pot.I want to feel the drudge leach from bone and sinew.Steam every injustice from my pores.Cook me down to my concentrated essence.Steep me in a bold flowering tea.I want to drink in all that is me.-Melissas […]

Don’t Ask Me If I Love You
Don’t ask me if I love you.What is love?I know how I love my son and my sister,Unconditional, without limits.It’s my only guide to love myself.I know attraction and limerence,The unrequited care I pour,Inconsistencies and confusion received.But what is love beyond what I give?Can you take me there,Through presence and […]
A Pinecone Gave In To Gravity At 3:25 AM
A pinecone gave in to gravity at 3:25 a.m.,The wind serenades the leaves,Hip-hop affirmations grant my reprieve,A baited video claimsSomeone told you about me,But how could theyWhen I keep so much bound and buried,Because they won’t understand,Because admission is taboo,Even when they crave it, too,How brutal it isWhen limerence sings […]
