A sample from Book 11

she waits‒
closes her eyes
breathes deep
‒her face tingles
her heart races
her palms sweat‒
a heat under her skin
rises...coming quick
shh...she repeats to herself
each sound
each speck of light
builds the burning
she fights
shh...again and again
don't do it...not again
she begs repeatedly
settle down, please
begging, begging
the exploding need
building, building
forcing her mouth closed
forcing her body steal
‒as tears stream down her face
begging, begging
can't you see...anyone
can't you see
I'm trying, trying...
my grip is slipping...
as she loses control‒
her mouth yells
or her tears fall
‒no matter who's around
down, down, down
she falls
back to a child‒
innocent, broken
just for a while
'til she regains
strengthens
to go
one more round
in life's paradigm
where between herself
and herself
she fights
hoping, hoping
the next time‒
she'll steady the line
‒that too often...
breaks her holding-together vine
