A message to her World
For K, who is her anchor
For P, her kindred spirit
For H, her brother
For T & J, her love children
For P, her lost one
For H, J, & O, her grandchildren
For S, O & F, their precious propagation
For L, who understands
For some left out
Dear world
She loves you
She accepts you as you are
in all of your disguises
in all your broken places
(as you in hers)
She will never leave you
voluntarily
or angrily
She needs you
Your fidelity
Your shelter
Your council
Your energy
Your gravity
Your wonder
Your joy
You are her multi faceted planet
Her home

Inspiration from:
30. Reverse engineer
What message would you like
to send the world. Write it down
and set it aside. Next, list the people
you’d like to receive it. Now, write
a poem that opens with the catalog
of recipients and brings your message
back in at the end.
