the exotic ripening of the finer sex

5 Dec

Woman-with-Crow.24x24.mm.2012 - Copy

Holly Roberts

seeding from within

for the birthing of yourself

this time –

You will

burst through your own damned skin,

exploding the social shell

into a mess of flowering  pulp;

midair

you

take shape into flight.

You strange and wonder full fruit –

filling the air with your juice,

for the hungry

who can only long

with painful bellies

unsure if they actually saw you

take your wings

into the sky –

Are you

never to land

on mundane, again?

Joy calls from you now

as your span stirs the air.

You circle up –

you orbit out –

a spiral map for the

gaping below.

    Your words always capture me in places of wisdom and whimsy. I hope your well.

      Thank you, Benjamin. I hope you are on the mend and seeing the light at the end of the farmhouse tunnel! xo!

        Thank you. Beginning to see the light. Healing..not as quickly as I’d like sadly 😦
