it's so comfrey

(comfrey)

we all need someplace
to feel the comforts of home
it's probably within

nature's healing salve
will bind all imagined wounds
and the real ones too

what do women want?
though I would not speak for all
we have common ground

the Earth is fertile
mysterious and layered
explore it gently

water droplets form

on the shower wall, on me
practice writing there

I try out the words
caressed by truth condensing
let them fall like rain

intolerant




they may seem kind, but
charity and tolerance
can be heartbreaking

root veggies






sacred red spirals
delicious fruit of the earth

color me crimson



if I eat all those
sweet and spicy ginger beets

my poop will be red

flicker or flame




no matter
a flicker or flame

it's all fire


divide then
multiply the light
unify

the riverside



staying clean
has not helped my quest

for healing


embrace then

these muddy waters

and be washed


un-shoulder
the weight of the world

it's not yours

princess quinn






curled on ornate cloth
regal decoration rules
with her tone of voice

circles of women


sisterhood of dreams

inspired by each other
new stories take shape

scent of a woman



malaysia
oil in the bottle
smells like me

washing my hands






bound by laws
written on my palm
who wrote them?

what happens
if I wash my hands
of old rules?

water runs
ink washes away
I'm free now
