I suppose I’m still hooked on Leonard Cohen today, because I couldn’t get In My Secret Life out of my mind as I was writing the day seven poem. So here’s the result:
(DAY 7)
Confession
I must confess,
I have a life beyond all this,
an existence you know nothing about.
In a place where the sun never sets,
I am sometimes a tiger and sometimes a river,
licking at wounds, being worshiped
by shapeshifters, graciously accepting
offerings of snake meat and of liquor.
I must confess,
when we are not together
I am a warrior princess picking her lovers
from among the gods.
