Poem 11 of 30 - April 2012

anoint

In the other room, my mother

is shouting Go for broke Go

for broke! I’m dressing to go

out.

I am protected, always.

song of invisible and impervious

cloaking, me - laughing.

It doesn’t matter

that my mother is cheering

a Jeopardy Daily Double

contestant

I know this woman

     as blade – my heart

   safe, risk

Some history is rich

the body’s memory

deep.
