God
is a many-headed lioness
I am clamped in a set of jaws
she tosses her head
bone-piercing where teeth
penetrate
I do not die
she shakes
there is no truth
but this
love
is gone
solace indiscrete
I act in love
not with love
somewhere
it escaped
I make myself
limp
to be the
shaken one
the best
shakee
one can
be
bunny
lives
another
day

A lot of people are feeling like this in the midst of this pandemic, grieving for lost loved ones, out of work, unable to provide for their children, abandoned by government, violence impending. Thank you for sharing your desperation. It made me feel less alone. We are going through hell and as Winston said, we have to keep going. Even this will turn again.
Celia, I am trying to reach you. You taught a course at Emperors (balancing paired points) and you and the course were brilliant and exquisite. Please let me know if there was a syllabus, reference list, any source materials you can share. I think of you often and honor your skill, wisdom and heart. -Martha Rolls
