Memorial Poem

why in the holy fuck of all fuck
         am I here?
     29 years old
     penniless
     powerless
might as well be homeless
just last week I told my husband
I was a gypsy
and wanted to leave him
for the open road
and the possibility
of a soul mate reunion

delusion is the most crippling humiliation.

I have no plans.
I have meds.
I have two feet
that move me forward
one step at a time.
I have no plans but I have
dreams.
I dream of California.
I dream of getting paid to write.
I dream of being adored.
I dream of looking in the mirror
and not loathing
my reflection.
I dream of rising above
the bitter ashes of my life
ascending and soaring
never again
to
crash.
