Heart Frozen

Analysis freezes heart,
I leap with reservations,
engage in familiar pacts,
motivations logical,
observe patriarchal parlay –
seduced by original sin –
settle into compromise.

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential. View all posts by VJ

I didn’t know one could be seduced by original sin. 🙂

  Wondered if anyone would comment on that one – a little feminism inserted there – it sneaks out every once in a while.
