Let my rage
Speak for all
The women in
My bloodline
Who were silenced:
We will not succumb.
Not this time.
We will overcome.

All hell
Can do nothing
But seethe
In the face of
Unyielding hope.

You’re in his DMs, I’m in the DSM-5. We are not the same.

In this
Silence,
I gift you
All of your
Nothing back.

I’ll keep
My small
Poems,
The taste of
Coffee,
Red wine,
The ravenous
Stars consuming
Themselves.
You can have
Everything else.

I am a
Garden
And a
Graveyard
In equal
Measure.

I’m too old to chase men. That’s why I have attack dogs.

You’re the coffee to my Agent Cooper

Every breath
Comes between
The beat of a
Bird’s wing
So soft,
So brief,
So far away.
