Rainy day in Pahala
That opening into the universe
Where prayers move in and out with the wind
And silent rivers move
Ferocious in strength,
Yet calm
Waters lifting,
Trickling droplets
Of mind
Yearning,
Acquiescing
to accept, without protesting,
The current,
The flow,
Letting go.

Grounding
And the sound of doves
And the distant sound of people moving
Awoke me
And I dare not move
Less my breathing change
And daylight slip away
Before I open my eyes
Exhaling
Slowly.

My fingers reach deep,
deep into earth’s womb,
curling round hot soil
where her pungent roots seek ground
and shelter for her rich bones
asking to be buried
In latent memories,
and warm tears,
like soft rain
to carry her home.

Burgeoning Heart

Take this heart,
This burgeoning ache,
This swollen phobia
Of social stigma,
A morsel of sorrow,
A fragment of body,
Broken bread to be eaten,
Slowly, steadily,
like oil spreading
Its rainbow dulled by dust,
Still throbbing and beating
And breathing in frayed sunlight,
Ready for your scalpel
Of words,
Dissecting, devouring,
Consuming, releasing me
Piece by piece,
in waves.
