MISUNDERSTAND

when endeavoring to communicate to find the right words

the story seems to spin out of my control

it is as if the words have hitched a ride in a spacecraft

and are traveling the cosmos visiting other planets

without concern for their worldly meanings

angels tread lightly to avoid the lunatic words without meanings

my words can get into such a tangle when they disregard what i am trying to say

finding the right words to convey the meaning will forever be a difficult task

words can be slippery when it comes to meanings

spread misunderstanding

COLLECTING SEA SHELLS

the child in the cave so tender alone in the haze

she traipsed about as if deranged in those high heel shoes of her Mother’s

she would fling her cape around her as if for protection

from the cold

she sustained she posture for just so long before she exchanged it for

something more real

she dropped the chains that held her there

no longer the little girl she was

she emerged as the full grown woman

that she had become

still there were times she could become enflamed

the wounds still raw seething under the repairs

amazing how one carries it all never forgets

like the marks on the stones burned in a fire so long ago

a history written never erased shoved forward

thrown on the shore
