And to the Angels
And to the Angels - singing high
On thrones of craggy rock -
I speak not whole truth,
Not even to these, God’s friends.

Mosquitoes
Last night I dreamt
That there were men and mosquitoes everywhere.
They dug into me, not only with their tongues,
But with their whole bodies,
Diving headfirst into my skin,
Burrowing in,
Leaving little punctures in their wake.

Unexpected Places II
(This is a poem I wrote recently. I’m not really a poet, and it needs editing, but I’d love some feedback!)
That sharp feeling
Of your hipbones in my thighs,
It made me catch my breath.
The surprising strength of you
Under and above me
It was breath-taking.
And your slow softness
In places unexpected
It caught me unaware.
-Sara F.
