I Can’t Hear You

A poem

I opened the window and it all went out.

It –the remanence of us

The poetry, the novel, the memories.

out with a whoosh. I stopped listening.

Drowned myself between the legs of a feral woman

What am I? Am I a woman

left to contemplate life and how I make anything of it

of art

of us

Not alone. There’s not a lonely bone in my body

What were we?

What are we?

The galaxies blaze with compounds that ignite the darkness

Is that us?

When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.
