swamp goddess

no words
just primal screams

then whispers

thoughts wisp away

emptiness

nothingness

beautiful void

"Swamp Goddess", the term, is borrowed from author Anne Hillman.

Hope

Hope

The tomb
in the dark
is the womb
of my heart.

Rude Awakening

Rude Awakening

Sliver sounds
Voice shards
Pierce sweet sleep--

Ripping me from
Dense dreams.
