poem – Thistle Thoughts

Degrees

Function & coherency
are often slow journeys

Your body and mind go through a transitional phase in March.

…you & I remain inside
different body & mental,
physical & spiritual prisons…

where burning becomes
a state of being, & ashes
are the taste of comfort

…an invitation
to glimpse within

Today is my husband & I’s 7 year wedding anniversary.

I’m included in an anthology that is available for free today!

What of madness and
feminine energy?

My poor husband is in the hospital…

…like my own temple,
withering away
over many a day…
