Balanced in poetic prose and found pennies - shiny and dull
Revelled in thick drops of rain falling, threateningly peaceful from an angry God's sky, a feared God's sky
I shout out in...
Under heavy blankets in my own warm bed
I am peace itself, for peace has penetrated
I breathed in peace, piece by piece
Picking
Picking and choosing tactfully
What pieces to keep
What peace will be to me
So forever-bracelets and phone calls; Diet Cherry Coke and sweaty backs; 123 and power hugs at Safeway;
Perfect chocolate tendrils will be peace for me
And those poems stab me, stab my palms like diamonds,
And a stranger's missing pennies glow as weathered rubies might in disolving day, impending dusk;
As peace may revel in my rib cage.
