The days
that seem lost
in the wind
when I seem
at a loss
to say,
“I am feeling”
because I
am
a hu-man,
wo-man,
conquering souls
my parents only dreamt
of on their honeymoon,
California palms
catching the moon
and my heart
waiting, wanting
to know what was
real outside
my one skinned cage,
until I learned
that cage was just
a lie.
