Let me be surrounded by nothingness;
Only nature, streams that flow.
Let me be nourished by the scent of flowers,
And the sound of seeds that grow.
...
*Salvation Through writing
Those poems I wrote
Gave me courage-
...
Ay cotton seeds, cotton weeds.
Grow day and night
Through clouds and rain-
Grow little trees
...
Alas I am a kettle how'll I rejoice?
All day I boil water-no other choice!
Those pots there on the stove just smell so good-
Because they hold so many kinds of food!
...
Dozing on a bench
Under the blue cloudless sky
The sun at its peak
Very high,
...
A baby that is born into the land
A quay that flourishes from the mids't of the sea
A pure thing wrapped with softness and white
Over which the Spirit of God prevails.
...
Darkness refers to evil
Night refers to death
Somber refers to fear
Shadow refers to wrath!
...
I am Gay,
Shall I feel shame?
NO-
This is what I feel!
...
Where have you been all those years?
Where have you hid your good soft heart?
Why have you been strict all the time-
Just now we go new start
...
