Go in through the eyes of a poet <br />deep into her alphabet mind. <br />Ideas like flotsam and jetsam <br />dodge poetry fragments and lines. <br /> <br />Beware the dark shadows of memory, <br />knife-sharp and bloodied by time, <br />or gentle, orgasmic and sensual, <br />swirling eddies, some without rhyme. <br /> <br />Softly notice the spirit in hiding. <br />Tiptoe past the bruised heart mending there, <br />knitting poems, pearls strung on a necklace, <br />unfinished jewels everywhere. <br /> <br />Take note on your tour of this poet <br />the outside no different you see, <br />but inside, my God, a passionate abyss, <br />the poet, the woman, the me.<br /><br />C.J.
