Hi All,
I know, i said I was going to wait for this, but it
wouldn't let me. So...here's a revision, which
reflects, I hope, the element that felt important [to
me]that seemed missing in the first draft. I seem to
be learning to take more time with drafts before I
post for C & C, and being me, learning slowly. So
thanks for your patience and time.

Break Down Through
Weighted by test results and proclamations,
going under again, and again,
ripped rotor cuff screamed at,
paralyzed foot flopped,
adrenal tumor alarmed,
pituitary anomaly warned,
drowning in what I’d maintained about pain,
I noticed a ceiling fan.
It’s current, perhaps fresh air inspired,
caught my breath and stretched me,
pulled me up into an electric lit mural-
so familiar I’d forgotten painting;
as overlooked as my prayer stick,
suspended from the scene like a branch.
A make believe bird, aroused, whispered.
Perched on the make-believe birch,
we lingered,
feather-weighted.
