it is illogical to spit… upon a face you once kissed ~ nikki giovanni and yet anger comes for me begs me to hurt someone someone I have held to my bosom whose face I have kissed someone who began my day opened the sky for light to see me someone who put my heart to bed rocked me into dark someone who fed me when I could not feed myself someone who knew me there in that deep place where even I cannot go do you see? stones rub at my heart scraping and there I am dragging my pain from one room to the next examining it in different mirrors no it is different in every mirror it is low crying in this room quiet seething in this fury rage and fury in this room begging me to hurt someone yes hurt do that terrible damage yes hurt someone whose face you once kissed spit! oh god I cannot spit on that face |

Kate, I am reminded of my brother-in-law's battle with cancer and the agony he must have endured as I read this tremendously emotional piece...and I am deeply touched. I am curious about the original of the "michael" poems; would you elaborate or email me if you care to share. *hugs*...jo |

"... in that deep place where even I cannot go ... stones rub at my heart scraping ..." WOW! "stones ... scraping" For some reason parts of this piece made me think of my rear view mirror: "Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear." I chose to read this offering last this morning so I could savor every line, and I am so glad that I did but please know the imagery will haunt me for the rest of this afternoon. *wink wink* I love this "series," too. Clap ... Clap ... Clap ... Clap more more more please always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same |
