I've been told
Something will happen soon
Maybe even tonight
So I make my useless preparations
Again

It's true ,
When I expect something
It doesn't come
And when I don't…
Something happens

So I expect nothing
Tonight
In my hopefulness
And I prepare…

Apply eyeshadow and lipstick
Redo my nail polish
Wear my linen
Drink the wine
Smoke the spirit
Listen to the birds
As instructed…

In my unpreparedness
I prepare

Visions of A Skylark Dressed in Black by Aberjhani

“The woman or man who is a poet, or fiction writer, or playwright, or all of these, is engaged constantly in a jazz ballet of vocabularies, passions, genders, histories, perspectives, death, love, and life. The music of revelation announces itself to
