“And God said, Love your enemy, & I obeyed Him & loved myself.” ~Khalil Gibran
Do not say my love was
A ring or a bracelet.
My love is a siege,
Is the daring and headstrong.
Who, searching sail out to their death.
Do not say my love was
A moon.
My love is a burst of sparks.

NOTE: I have a friend who, for the past year, has had one physical setback after another. This friend will email me and tell me about their physical ailments. My friend stirs up controversies. It is almost as if my friend enjoys the stress the controversies bring on. I suggested to my friend that there may be a link between my friend’s physical setbacks and related stress. My friend quickly responded to my email denying the link. I can see it; my friend can’t. In some ways, my friend is addicted to the behavior that causes stress and impacts my friend’s health. When we dare to face the hard truths we open ourselves to healing and growth.

My mouth blooms like a cut.
I’ve been wronged all year, tedious
nights, nothing but rough elbows in them
and delicate boxes of Kleenex calling crybaby
crybaby , you fool !
Before today my body was useless.
Now it’s tearing at its square corners.
It’s tearing old Mary’s garments off, knot by knot
and see — Now it’s shot full of these electric bolts.
Zing! A resurrection!
Once it was a boat, quite wooden
and with no business, no salt water under it
and in need of some paint. It was no more
than a group of boards. But you hoisted her, rigged her.
She’s been elected.
My nerves are turned on. I hear them like
musical instruments. Where there was silence
the drums, the strings are incurably playing. You did this.
Pure genius at work. Darling, the composer has stepped
into fire.
