weekly photo challenge: express yourself

Were there someone

in the world

who feels as I feel,

we would talk all night

in this grass hut.

weekly photo challenge: achievement

On Foot

I had to Walk Through the Solar Systems,

before I found the first thread of my red dress.

Already, I sense myself.

Somewhere in space hangs my heart,

sparks fly from it, shaking the air,

to other reckless hearts.

            (“My self-confidence depends on the fact that I have discovered my dimensions:

It does not become me to make myself less than I am.”)

because of being alone

the moon is a friend

it falls without wind–

a charcoal sketch —

a hazy shadow?
