quiet! threat

i’m seen

as female

subservient

silent

girl —

woman !

but i’m grrrl !

#youtoo

all i can

i stroke her fingers

while the stoke has her trapped

like wild animal

.

haiku

disquiet

dark words spoken in

strangers’ voices spill corrupt

from constricted lips

.

haiku

a few syllables of love

i send you like a

butterfly up to kiss a

star , ah , ah , you say

.

haïku

there’s no emoji for sky

for love, there’s a ❤️ !

how can symbols encompass

what is limitless ?

.

🤷‍♀️

haïku

listen, angel

it starts as hush – hush

baby, swarms to hum – hum, then

to full – blown howl, hon

.

haiku

leaves

the woman whispers

the woman

mustn’t have

to die

in this one

lie

.

haiku

lapwing quiet

do you speak raven,

bracken, ruin, deception,

wolf, cat , lap, secret, . . . ?

haiku

doggone

i found god ! i found

god ! i found god ! ‘doggone !’ god

said , ‘ i wasn’t lost ! ‘

haiku

coming in

i became my own

poem

scrawl

in blood~braille spiral

i feel my trail
