Empath

May be a chicken
Might be a duck
Listen with the heart
If we’ve got any luck
To be held to be listened to
Objectively so
What do we gain from
Attracting these people
Where solitude is not
Treasured and protection
Descoped

Connect me to the intimate
What do we sustain when we’re alone?

Respect the dignity of others
Focus on the compass of your heart

We can’t sacrifice our space
To diffuse self imposed rejection

The fire is burning without us
How shall we dance to call the flames
Calm the brimstone that surrounds us

Call the the wild of loving kind
People voices of understanding
Compassionate energies

Might be a chicken
May be a duck
Don’t smother your authentic self
Listen for the call of love

Imagination

Establishment
Based in popular
Coat colors
That look awful together
But keep you warm

Chickens that befriend
A self sacrificing
Meal to uphold
Their true bonds
In friendship are
Rooster worthy
The egg came first

Past particles of
Adhesives that never
Disappear but
Are occasionally good
For hanging things on

Even though it’s cold outside
It sure looks fashionable
Why don’t cold weather folks
Have clothing lines?

I have a thought
Lost in my nose
And my finger
Cannot reach it
The doctor says
It’s just my imagination
And that’s exactly why
I’m trying to find it
