o king o king salvation brings

which king is he the one to salvage me 

would you hold my hand? 




just beg steal and borrow and call me on the phone because I am

 

 

As I know I am no longer breathing I am

No longer counting

Years and years it took to decipher your anger I am

 

Gone to the color of the circle of the word

Ive become the boy with the coin  I am

Reaching for the dress I am

Lips red as in the letter in mother that strikes and kills again  

 

 and again

 

and again

Why beg and steal borrow when you can use Skype?

The more I read this, the more I see interwoven in its mystery. I see the references to The Almighty (O Kind, O King, I Am, and Word). I see a crying out for new life, for love, for redemption. I see the death of spirit and the resurrection of the same. I see the pain of rejection and the longing for maternal love. And, in the boy with the coin and the reaching out for the dress, i see Hope, New Beginnings, and Possibilities.

Your poetry involves and incites deeper thought and reflection.

It's so good to read your work, dear daughters.

Love, Mother
