ARCHANGEL OF THE MOST REVILED



Perhaps it was first said

by kind Dr Haynes

that Emma will give you

blood out of her veins



When others say 'no

room in the inn'

Emma's sure to say

'why do come in'



When others say

'impossible'

Emma always says

'I can'



She forgives the most

angry roars

because she sees

the painful scars

Her geiger counter finds

hearts cut in twain by pain.



She the first to say

'they know not what they do'

Everytime she gave

away

her kind heart it grew.



She knows that broken

souls derailed from the tracks

warm with the fire coming

through their big heart cracks.



Befriender of the 13th fairy

not invited to the ball

Loves the leper, the pariah

.. the ostracized.. the blackballed



Treats the suffering

as her own child

She's the archangel

of

the most reviled



COCKROACH BLESSINGS





Oh a cockroach

is better luck

than a cricket

upon the hearth

for he magnetizes

to your home

those

who love every heart.



FLOCK FLOTILLA



A floating flotilla

of baby clouds

.. to earth they fell

and became a flock of

sheep..



but new sheep

who no longer go

whichever way

the wind blows



who refuse to

submit

to the shears

or the branding

in the ears





SPILLED SEEDS



The spilled seeds

swept out the door

became corn on the cob

from corn on the curb.
