inner art journal

 

she turns away

as the veterinarian

extinguishes a kitten

clawing for life

~an inconvenient miracle

                                                  (Notes from the Gean 3.4)

 

unable to work again

with abandoned animals

she studies ancient paintings

on the walls of caves

~wild moving beasts

                                                 (Notes from the Gean 3.4)

 

as a child

afraid in the dark

I finally decided

to be the monster

and scare you

                                                  ( LYNX February 2012)

 

now that

Amanda Knox is free

I want to be let

into prison

~ freedom is so hard

                                                  (LYNX February 2012)

 

tenderly I note

aging in my husband’s face

life’s limits known

no need to rush

this sweet time together
