You Can Always be Rescued By The Love of A Good Woman?

* an examination of that cliche.

And she will be your Demeter.


She will dive

again and again


to your underworld,


save you from yourself


lead you from the fray


steady your shaking hand,


steer you


with her moral compass.


And she is pure


and true


as long


as the


focus


is on


you.

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
