They Exist

O minions obfuscation of,
To my cry of triumph list:
Whatever happens to me now
(And it is seeming grim enow)
I leave behind a mighty list

By which future readers know
(For it will illustrate them how)
To become by heart emblissed
How to cultivate good love
How to happiness allow,
Harmony encourage grow

Perhaps in pain forlorn I’ll go
Naught but despisal ever know
For entitlement but grist
Trodden on by all above —
But through it all, this I will know:
These poems — they exist!

Until removal of the stalker/targeter/vandal/arsonist following her allows her to approach any landlord ~ even for a private parking space ~ and to begin once again to create professional connections and to rebuild her life, this poet presently lives homeless and at a fraction of her nation’s poverty level ~ still working to contribute to her society, however, seven days a week.

Arts patrons 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.
