Divest
All need not be loss
words swept in on a windrushed cliff
where birds soared
though deaths, betrayals, failures hurt
she flung her arms wide to breathe the world in large
There are ways other than having
lit her resolution where blue sea lifted into blue sky
I do not need
and saw her tired grey body on the swell of sea
rolling away from the shore
spitting out sprays of stones and glimmering shells
from every pore to stay afloat.
