I AM WOMAN
I AM WOMAN
She looks bandaged barely held together
by strips of color Coming apart at the seams
I have felt this way the odd day Even when I
was supposed to be pulled together –
Especially then
Or perhaps beneath the taught veneer she is
always there wrestling with the trappings of :
bra & dress
heel & hat
The wild-woman anti-heroine Once corseted &
coiffed Now busting out Unholy Mad Madonna
a hair’s breath away from devouring her young
Or you –
So please do give this woman a wide berth on most days

All I can say is wow!!!! I love your work! What a wonderful talent to be able to paint such vivid sketches with words alone……I will read and reread and reread them again!
