Poems du Terre FIVE! You Know You Want It

1

Cool  rain shears night skies

Air is lace as thunder  moans

The wind connects us

2

Tell me to laugh.

Tell me to smile.

Make no waves

To be worthwhile.

Don’t think of it

Don’t take the time

Tomorrow

Will fit the rhyme

So confident

Devil may care

Just party

Be debonair

In 1993, I decided that it was not good

To mix me with men, and so I stopped.

For seventeen years, until a beautiful

pair of hands broke the ice around me.

That was but a brief moment leading

To seeing men as good, but no romance.

So have I decided to mix with men or

Is it too late that only fools would try?

Or is it enough to decide not to avoid

My hairy brothers and let life happen?

Just don’t ask me to shave my legs.
