I’m a fish out of water
throw me
back into the sea
I’ll swim backwards
into the time
before I had legs
My Lover Cherita 2
my lover was a drummer
he held my rhythm
in his hands
somewhere
somehow
we lost the melody

I love writing--It's my joy, my therapy--my confession. I'm a performer, dancer, yoga and meditation instructor, write a poetry column for Rafu Shimpo. Growth and love of life is a key to my happiness. View more posts

Thank you Bridgette. I’m now going into longer prose. I’ve been tanka a haiku for over 17 years– ready to explore free verse poetry.
