Megan Palmer - Poetic Moment

my angels of the street are bleeding.
broken flight, they limp toward me,
trails of blood-red dust at their feet.

Nadine Saxton - Poetic Moment

Who is my own true nature?

Who is my own true nature?

Anywhen

Inner streams red and green
Sitting cross legged out of time
