Boo
My special friend and roommate
Belly laugh inducer
Patting my chin with outstretched paw
Demanding a scratching
Let’s crawl about together
Lie in the soaking sun
Meow at the birds
You snuggled up beside me through my multitudinous struggles
Greet me at work day’s end
Sleep by my side
Head butts and kneading
So now, you and I,
We will enjoy our time together
No more false and torturous “treatments”
Let’s laugh together while we can
And then I will remember

Poem: Incitement
Incitement
Shots ring out in the morning air
Death comes to young and old
Snuffed out by madness
Madness enflamed
Madness incited
Madness called upon
Madness condoned
With targets, speech and fear
Of violent rhetoric en masse
You called for this day
Asked for it
And it came
It came and a nine year old is gone
It came and a judge is dead
It came and left others lost
And still more, clinging to life
You – Palin, Angle, Bachmann, Perry, teabaggers
Blood is on your lips

Footnote: Perhaps the Arizona shooting was not caused by the violent rhetoric in this country in any way. However, the incitement has created a climate and that is real. In that way, I find a correlation between the shooting and the inciters.

Poem: Cords
Cords
Cords from sweatpants are cut away
Precautions of another time
Served up as a reminder
Of overwhelm and panic
Now these sweatpants with no cords fit less tightly
And am I wound less so?

Posted for R.A. as a reminder that others understand, and that things do improve from the darkest moments. You simply must keep walking until you walk into a lighter space.
