Pheasants and Kings


What I learned:


Feeling love and security 

Relies on Relationships


Poverty Belies a bigger problem


Servants and pheasants 

For what would be 

Without the friendship of thee

Right Before My Eyes #strangulation #domesticviolence #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter

 


You have a greater chance of serious harm or even death once your partner has put his hands around your neck.


I still worry over 35 years later.

I Drink the Earth As the Drip Seeds Suround Me #womenwriters #literature #lorijeanfinnila

I drink the earth

As the drip seeds surround me


I move as my bones crack 

I ignore them

I have better things to do


I listen to the poets that bring me joy

I lay with my feet up on the bed

I find relinquishment from this

The ease of stress releasing from my body

I feel my existence of me come back again


I twinkle feeling the touch of my intelligence 

which brings me so much joy and harmony

Even though the dredges still drip around me


I dot in the corner hovered over my ball

I worry my back will stay round and bent from this

I feel fire in my stomach 

Pressing up my throat as it passes


I find delight in the literary genius

That brings me joy

She Walked Out On Her Own #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter #love

And the girl she left

She walked by his life

Even though she was supposed to stay

She walked out on her own


But I still love that girl 

Though she's the bad one to everyone 

She walked out in her own


Everyone tells me to stay away

I can't help thinking about her smile


She has spunk 

She has style

She has no crumbs of him on her

Maybe I don't have to feel like all


She had a mind of her own

Did what she felt was best for her

She walked out on her own


This girl I love 

Though she's bad to everyone 

I cover her permanent dark eyes 

as though I'm the angel to cover them up

She walked out on her own
