Divorced We began side by side. Drew ourselves straight feeling sapling new. He loved me adored me, "but pull in a little there smooth out a bit here. Train that branch in the right direction." One day I woke up. Told him he too had a gnarl here a knothole there. He cut me down never imagining glorious mahogany shone deep inside. Now, well past days his splinters light fired wood warm I weather the years as heirloom. |

About the Poet
I am a single mom of three and work in health care. Writing poetry has been part of my life since I was very small. Japanese forms fit best with my life right now--I can compose and recompose them in my mind while driving to and from work.
