Prose....

In the spirit of 'wild mind' writing sessions ( thank you Natalie Goldberg) I wanted to post some of my varied prose:

Intelligent Doubt

Make no
bones
about it

Stand up
stick straight
when
love
is
a
no-show

When hatred
crosses
your path
step
aside
and
blow kisses
on
her back

Stop loathing
in her
tracks
she may
be looking for
just
one moment
of
doubt
to
change
her mind


Godsend

Monkeys
in the zoo
hold flashlights
late at night
for
the zebras
on the way
out of
their tight
stripes


Pairs

Forgiveness
travels
in pairs

Two children
two lullabies
two wings
two chances
two poems
two deaths
two resurrections
