Woman

I am laced with broken

wires that spark

just beneath my skin--they

burn little black stars

amidst my charred freckles

and my speech

is electrical smoke:

         for I am both woman

         and dragon.

 

My heart screams with high

voltage, pumping electrons

through my lightning-scribed body.

 

I pulse for you, through

each mundane maestrom of a

minute--you, who shocked

me with the current of life.

 

and now, I am

charged with luminescence.

great poem. i love the bits you 'FOR I A BOTH WOMAN AND DRAGON'
it's kool, cuz i myself-usually call my current girlfriend
'My dragon Lady'
cuz she's stubborn, reasonable and smart + loving and careful
i definately believe that all stubborn women are dragon in description.
A good piece of work. well done!

I love this ... I love the excitement you created and the sexual energy.

I am woman.
I am charged with luminescence. (Love that line!)

Now, we are all seekers of luminescence ... Lucky you!

It's poetry like this, powerful and brilliant, that tends to go unnoticed. Exceptional read, I honestly found myself spellbound. Incredible work, dear. I can already tell you are a new favorite. Kudos. ;)

Now if you could offer a electrical schematic fer us fellers so that we can figure out how the dand'ed ol thing works we might finally have peace on earth.
