Separation

I didn't know who I should listen to

I tried listening to myself

tried sifting through nature and nurture to get at my soul

tried finding my self by separating it from others
tried love by not loving.

Well, that is how I came apart

there remained no me you could be with

no I I could love you with. 

Turbulence

I am fighting through an ocean

dipping spinning pulling

pushing floating boating

with such absolute clarity that to you

it looks like I'm dancing. 

the Statue

she is the goddess of loss

the naked form of a woman

her weak sex exposed

ridiculed beyond belief

she is armless, headless and bare

without voice, shelter or comfort

and still 

you beg her for favours. 

A rip in the fabric of life

Love is the cut of life
the necessary hurt
the inevitable pain
that leaves your edges frayed
your self changed.
