The Feather Vajra

and in her hand she held a feather vajra,

at the core, a gentle beating heart,

around the heart, two eggshell lotus’s cupped,

intertwined like a mother’s hands.

Around a band of unicorns,

four magical, mystical, protectors,

and a vajra made of feathers.

Enough!

Enough!

I exclaim.

I’ve had enough!

I take a house brick

and lob it into the still water,

causing the matrimonial boat to capsize.

I am forty seven and I’ve had enough.

I will pout and stamp my foot

and wait for the waves

of discontent to wash

against my shoes.

Once and for all

I have had

Enough!
