Resilience
I carve a piece of blue sky
for the dark days ahead
prepare myself to touch
where it hurts, let tears
rinse the pain……..then
I will take the blue patch
to cover the wound
with sunshine and fresh air
let myself heal again.

tonight
the silk moon weaves me
into its silver streams -
don’t tell me how much
you love me, not now -
November draws me
into bleak arms
