Heather


Heather on moors, waiting
For just the right moment
To burst into purple bloom 
Unfazed by the whipping winds
That nearly knock me over
Waiting.
Patiently, 
Waiting.

  • Boxes

    When I was born, I was put into two boxes

    One was a real box, clear, with little holes so I could breathe, 

    Because apparently, I couldn’t wait to be born.

    The other one is ‘girl’

  • Worry Armor


    Panic invades my body like wildfire.
    Impossible to stop and impossible to slow down.
    My legs fly out of the room without my thought.
    My worry armor shields me with a cascade of tears
    Legs flying.
    I find myself in the bathroom.

    79
    If 79 is 2+2
    Then a male sheep is a ewe
    but if 79 is 79
    then tie up your hair with natural twine
    If today is yesterday the 79
    then all the songbirds are to rhyme
    79 is to take a nap too
