The Fault in My Stars

The Fault in My Stars

is what? Do I have a kick me sign on my

aura, a “D” in the middle of my

forehead? WTF universe?

Is my Karma such that

from a past life that I

attract men requiring healing,

needing their broken wings

repaired? And then they wing

away, leaving me pondering.

This puzzles me so. I

lead a basically good life, I

help others. But I can’t

pick a mate who is satisfied enough

with what I have to offer.

Am I on the wrong planet–Uranus

must be where I am. Could I please be

teleported to Venus, or

hitchhike on a billionaire’s spaceship?

The fault must be in my stars. They

are misaligned, or their batteries have

burned out, I don’t know!

If anyone can spare a lucky star,

send it my way.

Joan out.

Fitting In, Digital Art and Poetry by Joan Ellen Gage

Fitting In

I sit quietly, this

miraculous in itself.

Hands finger smooth paper,

caress the cold metal of the

writing implement.

Exhaling, eyes flutter, colors

speak, indigo and Parrish blue

flash behind gossamer lids, a

sensation of the world flattening,

planing, a compressed square of self

slides, into my background,

snapping in like a puzzle piece.

I am euphoric, yet, at peace. The

many selves are aligned, I am complete, I am

grounded.
