Metamorphosis
In Memoriam: Joan Miller Bladden
where are you
dear sister
frozen bird
afraid to sing
in death
you open
your throat
fly
Ripped Path
sanctimonious
words drown me
fear drives a knife
into my heart
speak to me
of covert truth
Turn on Caesar’s Tables
Veni, Vidi, Vici. “I came, I saw, I conquered.” Attributed to Julius Caesar, 47 BC
I came, I saw, and I was conquered
beaten, burned, destroyed
And, like the Phoenix, I rose again
tempered by the fire
