love this

too good to leave, too bad to stay

ring ring

bell
sounding
make
tears
wet
face
dry
heart

call
silently
and
round
up
and
down

sing
loudly
and
shout
affirmations
of
love

Phase 1

accomplished!

geraniums have no fear

get out of the way

inside there's a girl
a little girl
angry at not being heard

inside there's a song
to be sung
a song of protection

the woman
has been afraid
but now
she knows it is
not about her

the girl
the gift
of voice

it is time
it can be done
it's real
