– destruction brought on
by men’s sins alright:
hubris
greed
denial
myopia
dereliction
disinterest
inempathy
incompetence
he is a coward
August 27, 2007
he once stopped by
and promised to resolve
my shattered bones.
he dried my tears,
placed a candle in my heart,
but not a flame.
he proclaimed,
I will never abandon you.
then he left.
he left to have sex
with violence – like John Wayne
slapping a woman.
although he showed up,
he never returned.
again and again.
obsessions always leave a wake

Bone grit
explodes into
a thousand ripples,
welcoming home
her borrowed
physicality.
storm ships

those billowy clouds
with voluptuous
highlights
set against blue sky
float on their way
to commit raucous
rack
and ruin
he is a coward

he once stopped by
and promised to resolve
my shattered bones.
he dried my tears,
placed a candle in my heart,
but not a flame.
he proclaimed,
I will never abandon you.
then he left.
he left to have sex
with violence – like John Wayne
slapping a woman.
although he showed up again,
he never returned.
he is not a builder.
