where the wild flowers grow

As a woman, I
purify my
dirty words
before I speak them.

Sprinkle my ashes
slowly out the
window
of the car you driven
since 1985.

Play that song I like.
As a woman, I
appreciate the
little things in life.
Though dearly departed
I haven't yet started
to dive into the issue of
reincarnation..

As woman, I
like to stuff as many
thoughts of mine into your
ear as possible.
Cursing politics and
the way the
nail polish chips..

And if you don't agree,
as woman, I
will sit
quietly loathing
the air in which you breathe.

As woman,
I know
I'm right
when I'm wrong
and this motion is set
to "constantly".

Be calm, storm,
as I
woman:
Learn to speak.

Be calm storm.....as if your words should hinder even a storm while learning to speak. So poetic. Much love!

A voice of honesty

Stay the storm...
ride the waves...
you've done a remarkable job
depicting patience.
