Blueblack
velvet nights
envelope dreams
gliding on memories
i gather petals of me
liberate unwept tears
sacrificed to invasive
adenocarcinomas
In the melody of now
their silent flow rivulets
gratitudefilled shimmers
mystic their well
Had i still a uterus and adnexa
devoted i would bleed deluges
again surrender in reverence
to you for this sublime
dance of winds
that is life
Treasured are the
seeds of embrace
nestled
in heart's womb
they blossom
to birth
love .

re: to comments ... the form is accidental. I was concentrated on linebreaks and when I centered it simply happened so.
I cannot help but thinking that this poem was a curative in itself. I believe, perhaps naively, that living fully and creatively in the moment brings health. I see you doing that here. Thanks for the openness and honesty, Maria. Blessings for continued health and full life.
