Wanting to feel safe
She arms herself with old fears
Through darkened lenses
Every light looks like a threat
History can’t repeat itself

On Saturday I found out that a relative had bought eight copies of my second book to give away as gifts! I guess she liked it ;-)

Daily Writing Quote:
"I try to live what I consider a “poetic existence.” That means I take responsibility for the air I breathe and the space I take up. I try to be immediate, to be totally present for all my work."
- Maya Angelou

"It's a pleasure to bring that light to others, because I understand the feeling of being invisible. "

Early evening grey and white clouds above a silhouetted leafless tree begin to break up, revealing a blue sky near the Cuyahoga Valley National Park visitor center.
If I can capture
at least one memory,
while on a hike
that inspired me,
then I believe
that Nature and I,
accomplished our task
to end the day right.
~ Matzinsky

I'd like to recommend people read Pat Masson's work. It's a treat, and a great example of what a skilled and creative poet can accomplish in alliterative verse in modern English.

In which we present "Vixen" by W.S. Merwin, quite possibly the most beautiful poem ever to be written about a fox.
This poem appears in Merwin's 1996 collection THE VIXEN published by Knopf.

Poem reads….. Am I Free… If your allegiance is ruled by decree are coerced to conform and agree they deny you exist if you care to resist then no my friend you are not free. Under threat do you serve without fee asking freedom without guarantee do you peddle their lies, wear their disguise if so my friend you are not free. But question and dare disagree when challenged you fare not to flee refuse to enlist, cry cease and desist now my friend you could be free. If you bring down your wall and let be inhibitions and warts all to see fear not your own song, if morals are strong now my friend … …now you are free.
I had much in mind when writing this, it seems applicable to victims of injustice but also those who deal the deck. Intention is reflective, in no way ‘Lamenting Advice’, I’m in no position to do that.

A fortuitous sunblink
unstitched the frost from thought,
and wintered judgment loosened
like bark after first rain.
