Capricorns I’ve Known

Candid Corvid Productions

Like unicorns brandishing horns
Climbing to the top of mountains

Bugling their vision unhearing
Other sight having equal merit

What pressures felt to be right
Rooted in earth bound so tight?

Telescopic points of dissuasion
Difficult to budge if bargaining

Goat head-butting forcing truths
Demanding respect’s adherence 

Knocking others off their paths
Chiding them for not following

I wonder if they had been raised
With more gentility of generosity

Perhaps they wouldn’t need to worry
About being so righteous in their glory

And my love for them wouldn’t be wasting
Upon sharp stones where it was trampled

Note that I too can
Brandish my horn

Unicorn Trauma Bonding

Candid Corvid Productions

He found her one day
Not realizing she was

Impaled by others’ horns
& Stuck to the Tree of Life

Bleeding out in silence
Trying to hide the pain

Relying on camouflage to
Avoid alerting predators

The shock in her eyes was
Recognition not rejection

Instant pushing away flash
Had been meant to protect

Both him from her desperation
And because she had infection

Kind of hard to exhibit confidence
And go prancing to a most beloved

After unsticking one’s self without
A way to cauterize deep wounding

So he left not understanding that
She wanted most to be with him

Adjustments

Candid Corvid Productions

“Working out today in mid-gravity-assisted decompression-realignment exercises, my left lumbar did a hard teadjustment in a way that it never had before – which painfully ‘knocked the wind out of me’ for a few minutes.

I am hoping that it was needed, and that it will reduce tension on my right hip’s mobility constrainments.”

In This Room

Candid Corvid Productions

In this room I hurt
In this room I break

Facing brain injury &
Physical disabilities

In this room I play
Briefly connecting

Fragments of myself
Blown into segments

Following music trails
Along windy highways

In this room I dream
To bridge with a man

Building castles in skies
Where promises fly high

Because love is why
Life is worth living

A Woman's Plight, Where Demons Tread

Dear Friend,

Candid Corvid Productions

“In that moment, I was seized by all of my inhibitions, and one of them was the ingrained messaging of honoring your privacy – which, but – there you were, smiling!

But I was waiting for the clear “ok” signal of your directly approaching me – and was frozen solid in panic’s confusion as I saw you leave.

I didn’t know what was going on in your heart and mind, and desperately wished to give you what you needed.”

Slippage

Candid Corvid Productions

“Going to the shelters asking for human and animal food…first driving through the parks and seeing all of the sprouting tents and makeshift coverings over piled vehicles and bicycle units – and then here at the limited rooms…levels of people older to young just trying to hang on.”

Closed Room System

Pounding on walls
Closing in

Constricting
Sense of freedom

Limiting belief
In reparations

Finding my way
Becomes limited

From miscalculated
Neurofeedback session

Attempting to help
Brain’s injury

Forcing tied mind
Into corners

Happenstance
Constricts play

Prospects

Candid Corvid Productions

“I’ve seen enough of society to know that as far as material wealth and performance expectations, my positioning as viable for marriage on those levels is no longer market competitive.

When I rush, my hands falter and parts of my physical connections try to tear apart going different directions.

I did not deserve to have simplicities of my youth stripped from me.

Yet, I am not the first to fall.”

This Side Of The Veil

Candid Corvid Productions

How had the sun been gently
Yet brightly slant-glowing him

As if late morning but
When late afternoon?

How was that area then open
With time sharing rare view?

Now when she parked near it
People lounged in cars by her

Which seemed odd as she waited
For why were they there like her?

The place was always busy now and
If went closer pedestrians observed

As if they expected something
To happen from her presence

Everything had quick-shifted into
People always using the pathway

The doors seemed to have closed
Firmly barring his return entrance
