Michele Rappoport

At the urging of a friend

I took my brain out
showed it to people who were interested
shared it with my family at a reunion
the double triangle, the six-pointed star
floating disks, twisted ribbons
it was amazing
I was determined to make a journal
a deep paper breath
to shift my state of being
from chaos to coherence
I didn’t have to be perfect
there is no eraser in life
triangles rotate on a center point
spiders create homes by weaving
I can indeed make something beautiful.
