all of a sudden
her tongue's tied tight with stuck tears
life's right in her face
past decisions loaded
not locked, but she's a stray
bullet off target
always in the wrong
place at the right time waiting
for just the moment
to spring at a feast
like a Venus fly trap grabs
for its existence
internal bleeding
for a country and people
a daily headline
align yourself fine
in fields of your own planting
chanting for new days
for peace
