i just want to be with my
glittery things
a jar of brightness
in a"room of my own"
every woman needs a room of her own
to paint for
herself
ideas and a way
in which she would like to walk
and twirl
and believe
it is tiring
bending and collecting things
sharp and dull
forced to sit in a room with
disappointing looks
and loud loud shrill
noises
but that is not what it
would be like in my space
not a trembling mass
of ungrace
and deep
creased brows
i do not know
how to smile where i sit
under soot
i wish i was a better kind
who can playfully turn dark
to light

“Lock up your libraries if you like, but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.”

  “I thought how unpleasant it is to be locked out; and I thought how it is worse, perhaps, to be locked in.”
