Tin Foil

In the evening, all the birds are singing

deep purple rolls accross the horizon

and the weather man is talking of tornadoes,

funnel clouds and hard-candy hail

I look up at a striking ray of light

solid like a shining platinum sword

beaming down onto the street

burning out from beyond the rounded belly

of a pregnant, black cloud

up ahead, there are two skies

the blue sky

and the violet sky

divided in stark contrast

by a veil of heavy rain

How I Will Change The World

I will make the world a better place.

I will make my life into something beautiful.

I am powerful enough to do whatever it takes.

These are the incantations of a despairing soul, begging herself for forgiveness and freedom from the tethers of the past.
