Through poetry, layers can peel. Through poetry, the cage can loosen and the inner voice be heard. Through poetry, the high profile mask can be removed and liberty can exist Poetry isn’t just a secret hobby, it is a lifeline to self healing.

Word Of The Day

Palimpsest (noun)

A manuscript or piece of writing material on which the original writing has been effaced to make room for later writing but of which traces remain. MC first read this word in Margret Atwood’s, “ Chapter 1″ Handmaids Tale. Atwood writes, “Dances would have been held there; the music lingered, a palimpsest of unheard sound, style upon style, and undercurrent of drums, a forlorn wail, garlands made of tissue-paper flowers, cardboard devils, a revolving ball of mirrors, powdering the dancers with a snow of light.

Landing

After a restful break, finally simmering down to some dreaming, I return with poetry, photos, and a very nearly fully repainted bookcase-with-ladder. Whilst on said ladder, kitten Liam managed to climb up via my jeans and sweater to watch what I was doing. I got him down before he doused himself in rosered paint, but it was a close one. Fortunately he cuddled up in the salad bowl with his sushi toy to sleep.

Because I'll only very slowly get around to thanking you all personally, here's a huge thanks for all your comments, sweet messages and myriad kindnesses to these amazing souls in particular:

5 Things. I was tagged by @aaronawbra to write 5 things I like about myself:

1. I like the way my mind returns to second childhood at the smell of autumn leaves or smoke from a distant fire.

2. I like the unbearable tension that overwhelms me when a trembling idea forms words and my mind is held captive until that nagging poem eventually forms.

3. I like it when I can feel tremendous honesty with another person where my soul breaks open and I shake from the beautiful vulnerability of feeling their thoughts, of being perfectly understood in that moment.

4. I like the way my eyes betray what my heart feels.

5. I like the way my children and students bring out my best self- the selfless, loving person I wish to be all time, especially when no one is watching.

Thanks, @aaronawbra. I haven't been asked to do a challenge in quite some time. 😊

Isolated darkness

Silence quakes the room where I lay. I’m not alone, yet every portion of me feels so isolated. Darkness consumes saturating my flesh eating through my bones, have I been this way for so long, it all is finally suffocating me? Or am I becoming one with the darkness? A cold sweat covers my soul fog inhales my mind, yet I can feel the gone by years, so deeply false truths hurts which has been buried every word, which was never spoken every regret, every lost dreams, moments, day, years- which was completely stolen wounds that were bandaged, by a good fuck issues, never to be voiced betrayals, which were always masked by manipulation , every demon in hell. Brings them to my remembrance Routine is life as shackles dig deeper into flesh, voids are only seen in my eyes, as I look in the mirror, who is this woman? The true depths of pain, desires, and liberty only exist in ink, which bleeds from this heart and soul, self awareness seems so distant all of a sudden, sin is my blanket loneliness the pillow the emptiness, has stolen my tears a complete shell. The shell of my being is still completely isolated muted, clawing through the darkness.
