I
Tell me the sun rose as the moon set and there were no betwixt or tween.
Speak oft on such is concealed in a lover’s touch and how the heart does wane.
Contemplate the nature of the ‘verse and inner workings of the spirit’s soul.
Bear with me while I struggle to match your pace a strolling up the knoll.
Know the depths of me and stay? instead I see you turn and walk away.

II
Little heart I stowed today
ready for the journey when
perhaps I’ll find some skin
don’t mind coming, then
just going the fuck away.

III
Somehow today I want to weep.
it is the setting aside of things
and the coming of the storms.

IV
I sing
oft a beat off tune.
I am only me
neither sun nor moon
but magma
and fire of the earth.

je me retire totalement

I am not some girl all giddy
but a woman of passion
and yes, deliberation
I sleep alone tonight.

I
Solitaire
The nights are long and days are short;
when I was married I slept to dream.
now the night escapes in stillness and
the words won’t come fast enough;
I write in discombobulated streams.

II
My eye is caught
something shiny
something pretty
I wish men

weren’t so pretty.

II
Bare flesh and I want.

Tears come when they want
just like words...

Je me retire seulement vous ai laissé mener.
