Bears The Blame

People criticize a woman
who gives up love,
yet no one criticizes the man
for the same story.
The woman bears the blame
in love and life.

New Era

Just when you thought
the story
is at an end, 
how lovely. A new era begun:
I am slowly, beginning to delight again
in living,
my heart pouring out, and
my dreams better.

Abstract Poem

An abstract poem.
a rejection.
I pick the most promising themes.
No ready-made novel, no dense story.
Cut off in a self-induced vacuum
I could be myself.
