1. i awaketo silence.
my blanket
of words
falls open
how much can a heart expand
before it contracts?
2. lost in space
i climb your words
to safety
but it is the spaces
between our shared memory
that helps me release
into the unknown
a soft warm blanket
woven from past tenderness
streaming behind me.
3. five years together
you did not call tonight
and i awake
to an unfamiliar landscape
no longer sure
of what i know.
4. my heart
is a dog
waiting for its owner.
i will take her outside
to howl her fierceness
back from the moon.

Love you, Hel
beautiful words, images, feeling. especially... "my heart

I've changed my name but it's still me. And you're writing is even more beautiful. Take care, Deb
But you know Hele, life is not over. It crushes you down at times, and you stand and wonder, and don`t understand, but it was just a turn. Or a step on the ladder. If you dare to take another step up, you can suddenly see new things. You are very powerful, you are.
i don't know what to say...you are that good. your words come with images and emotions...every time i stop by your blog, i am not merely reading, i am also discovering.
beautiful Hele, so deeply beautiful.
