last week's poem of the week next picture-poem   friendly dead snakes / home 

I thought 
I had control 
of my life 
freewill 
filled the palms 
of my hands 
I wanted you 
so I meditated 
prayed 
subliminal tapes 
essential oils 
charts, cards, spells 
saw us together 
When I was well prepared 
I took my hands full of freewill 
and positive resourcefulness to your door 
But you showed me your free will 
by close it 
and loving someone else 
leaving me shivering in the snow 
once again

I thought

and positive resourcefulness to your door
But you showed me your free will

and loving someone else
leaving me shivering in the snow
once again.
