I watch the sun push up
a row of dirty gold dissipating
rain clouds at four thirty am
sleepless after too many
interuptions in the night my
fear sometimes needs
the sun the mist off the
lake like night terrors
envelops hope it’s ghosts dance
on the tender water
of what i know and yet doubt
birds begin their chirp and chatter
light changes so many things
a covenant of love uncovers
my capacity to be human
yesterday some judges
decided my love is legal
today rises a little less
fettered though the hate
monging still peppers
facebook comments some
from the very family i love
sometimes i am a woman
of sorrows aquainted with greif
sometimes spirit like my source
i rise and meet the day
