the words dance gaily
away from me
finding their ways
to the mouths of
younger women
forming and reforming
combinations
for which I don't know
the meanings
inflating with pride
inventing new definitions
- sweeping roots across the floor -
weaving me back into being
emptying my closet
dis-collecting personae
naming them as I
let them go
now I am
nothing
as I was
always
meant to be
- scent of myrrh -

I do so love to hear from you - please let me know that you came to visit!
it has come to my attention that some people are having trouble commenting, and from what I could find, it seems blogger uses third-party cookies, and if users have them disabled, they cannot comment while logged into a google account. further, browser extensions like ad blockers or heightened privacy settings like tracking protections can block the comment form. I checked my settings, and the blog allows all comments, including anonymous ones, so...just know that I appreciate your visit even if you can't tell me you were here.
