Happy Saturday Post – I’m thankful for the life I’ve been given, and the stories I’ve been asked to post between now and the end of the year. Stay tuned!
Meanwhile…
Six Separate Thoughts – Part III
Under my shoulder he helps my missteps
We argue over ownership
Kingdoms via bodies and lips
It’s lonely in the space of justified anger
How dare he prove and show my lack
In this way emotions can not linger
I was untethered ’til he pulled me back
His loving acceptance a lighthouse at sea
Returning home, not yet free
He massages my foot like he’s invoking a shaman’s spell
As if my deformation is his most prized possession
His thumbs are the lovers of my arches, ankles, heels
The somehow lost wholeness he calls to attention
And I can march to the tune of his love
My limp is a hitch kick on hold
He asks me to waltz knowing I won’t really do well
As if my lacking dancer is somehow in session
He takes my wrists- holding smoke and steel
Touch whispers fly while my soul screams broken
From here to heaven I don’t dare fly
His caress dreams that I try
For Seddy Bear – with three more to go before the end of November.
With words, song & prayer,
Tiffany Vakilian
