Deus Ex Machina

Working in the garden
Maybe digging a hole to China
I followed the instructions carefully
Not knowing

I heard the voice instruct
Knocking at all sides
Of the earth

I left my grassy post to
Collect more plants and returned
To watch the most beautiful
Rainbow earthworm rise up
Unfolding

Out of the soil
It twisted upward
From end to end
I couldn’t see the beginning
Bright rainbow colors
Every solid shade in the spectrum
Hexagonal

The head found its way
To the front as it rolled and
Slithered off and my Irish Setter
Stood atop the front
Riding next to a streaming river
I ran to catch up
I grabbed my camera

No one would believe me
And water was spraying everywhere
Like fountains of joy

I kept up speed and followed
Until I couldn’t match the pace any longer
And watched him glide
Into the distance

I called out
Find your brother
You resolve me

Onward prisme

Therapy

She says that she
Is an empath
She isn’t picking up on
My signals

Assuming incorrectly
She doesn’t ask
She is making
A decision
To get better

Might as well
I mean hell
It’s much more comfortable
In therapeutic congregation
Than having
An uncomfortable
Conversation about it
In real life
Truth serum
Is too blatant

No one wants to be called out

Nowhere to hide
From the furrow

Embrace the woman
You’re becoming
And not the child
You used to be

Lest ye burrow

Caught up in wanting
To do something about it
Rather than just doing it is

A contradiction
If you’re tongue tied with
The people standing
In front of you
Who want to understand you
Who want to love you

Help me find the cure for you
Like a medicine woman
Healing every cell
Of your alcove
