Gifted

It felt more important to have a darling and children
Than to live a story.
We have vignettes
of love and work and study.

I tried hard to be good.
I had to make up for the gifts that god, the fairies, or genetics did not give me.

What is certainly true except vignettes?
You my love have been compassionate and brave.

I think the names
Of love, courage, compassion, diligence, honour,
and some others as if they were gods.

True But Not Real

Much that I love is true but not real.
Your love is the prayer not limited to believers.
Your love links me to so much,
So much that I love that is true but not real.

These Are Your Courage Lessons

These are your courage lessons:

You are one of the outsmarted,

With the outsmarted women and children.

The devils laughed at your sex.

They were the local devils.

They laughed at your sex.

They laugh at a child’s courage.

If you have grace

You might get alms

As good as love,

The same as love.
