how odd it isthat I am
so wounded
yet so strong
so flawed
yet so beautiful
so broken
yet so resilient
so empty
yet so complete

Martha, As I read your poems, I am reminded of how things are changing since Tillie Olsen wrote her book, Silences. She speaks to the women's life but uses men's writing as well. I just read a poem that I did not write, here it is , if I can make it fit
In placid hours well-pleased we dream
Of many a brave unbodied scheme.
but form to lend, pulsed life create, what unlike things must meet and mate:
A flame to melt-a wind to freeze;
Sad patience-joyous energies;
Humility-yet pride and scorn;
Instinct and study; love and hate;
Audacity-reverence. These must mate, And fuse with Jacob's mystic heart, To wrestle with the angel-Art. Herman Melville
