Black Belt

I am such an empath
I make strangers laugh and cry
Walking down the street together
In the short blink of an eye

I could so destroy you
With one rightly chosen word
None I’ve ever spoken
Nor ever will be heard

You wonder why I won’t involve
Myself your petty squabbles in
There’s not a chance that I might lose
And neither one wants me to win

Homeless until removal of the stalker/targeter/vandal/arsonist following her allows her to approach any landlord ~ even for a private parking space ~ this poet presently lives under perpetual threat of towing with all possessions should her 23-year-old van stop running for any reason.

She is badly in need of a modest reserve with which to field any emergency which might occur.

Donors may visit http://www.UgiftABLE.com , using code #72D-31S. It does take several days for the poet to be notified of your patronage.

Thank you for supporting quality in the fine arts.
