RAPESEED
She buried the thought
seeds of the longago rape.
Spirit fields did ignite
with rapeseed light.
PEN BIRTHING
He was stuck
in the tape loops
of the painful
movies of the past.
He picked up
a pen and let
its point begin
to flow
.. the words
on the paper
as he wrote out
his feelings
.. were birthed
in separation
from him.
He was no longer
stuck. He could
release.
Because some of the words
were negative and
judgmental
he let fire
in the grate and
the waters of the
commode carry them
away....
but others
were beautiful
and he gave them away.
