fecund
where life pulsed obscenely fecund
a picture window in the room sunblare fountain cool
florida heat outside the room 2 little visitor girls approach
the bed and winged shapes flutter overhead he being
called back to the ancestors pallor of foetal pig in biology
lab at 17 i am not cutting into that thing! so dropped sciences
+became a fisherking grail of wounded children taught me
not to gasp at suffering a supervisor said: you are the mary
poppins of family therapy you must take off those white gloves
and touch their pain except i touched it too much lost a ventricle
and in the bowels of this hospice-from-hell lost what was left of my
sanity too but as the little girls in summer dresses sparkle with life i
wipe the dust off and fly home now winter and dead beetles caught
in the screens unholy foolsister seeking spring when the melt will raise
her up again emptier less aprill

Winter 2018 for fisher kings wounded healers +feelers of too much..
