  10. From a distance I can see the shock on her face. She sits. She waits. She stares at the smacking of the fins, back and forth as they try and try and try to get her to breathe. But she won’t. I can see her thoughts of nothing and blankness, she watches them yell. They don’t disturb her. Nothing will. She stares at the percussion of the boat, up and down as they try and try and try to get him to breathe. But he won’t. I can see her emotion of emptiness and fear, she watches them yell. They don’t make sense. Nothing will. From a distance I can see it envelop her. She breaks. And all she can do is wait. 3/7/13- Happy Friday!Revised Drafts

  11. Inextricable (working title) I am scarred and scraped Naked flesh cleaved from ivory bone leaves my insides raw and exposed Wounds are supposed to heal over time But if they heal, why does the pain linger? They simply scab over leaving scars? Healed on the outside, an indelible reminder But the mark is still a constant companion Uninvited, unwanted Inside still injured… Who’s got their claws in me? Nameless, faceless, hardly worth remembering Still, the claws remain. 3/7/13- Happy Friday!Revised Drafts

  12. Prayer for a woman This morning on the radio, I heard that each day the Pope prays for one billion souls. How many of those souls are women? I think we have earned our own special prayer. So much depends on a woman. Prayer for a woman: I pray that you have sleep in safety and peace-- So that when the world wakes you And lays its infinite burdens upon you You can meet the obligations with Dignity Wisdom Resolve 3/7/13- Happy Friday!Revised Drafts

  14. I want to write a happy poem I want to write a happy poem. I see the children, bouncing along innocently, A blur of bright colored backpacks and light up shoes, On the way to school each morning. The idyllic bubble of illusion embracing them. Parents holding tightly to hands, hoods, heads, whatever they can manage to grab, If only for the moment I want to write a happy poem for them. About them. But all that comes to mind Is how innocent they are, And how calamitous this world can be. A tortured soul walks into Sandy Hook Elementary And with a spray of bullets and a flood of terror kills my happy poem. Sixteen lives. Sixteen poems that will never be written. Sixteen lost dreams. I want to write a happy poem. My SFD
