Favorite Quote:
"We know what we are, but not what we may be" - Shakespeare


she is made of
bad habits-
consumed by that
captive beast
strumming sadness
into beat.

a suffering front
battlefield born
no longer steady
no longer solved

surge of relief
knowing a sudden
gleam of light-
striking.

she is made of crafted
worries 
nail-bitten escape
routes

planted in soil
does not grow
will not grow
this cavity feeds
on itself
pouring into drought
