.
A blind theme
of sensual deliverance
.
.
Opaque but controversial
acts of spiritual courage
visceral
cantankerous
It is equally important
how something is given
as to how, or if, it is received
discarded
avoided
The summer dung is used up.
Flailing or foraging, we all get used up,
turn old and baffled by the complex amount
of disappointment – not just by one
by everyone.
Then it is murky
and mortality-unbelievable
that things will change into childhood’s ideal.
A choice emerges, to accept without
bitterness, just do the things
that make you happy – child’s play.
For you – that is all it should have to give.
For others?
A shrug to feign indifference
For others
should not be able to give or take inner satisfaction.
Connection.
Cull the fables
Here it is, the butter slab
on the table
pepper spots on the floor
and marmalade
in doses.

“Her (Allison Grayhurst’s) poetry appears visceral, not for the faint of heart,
and moves forward with a dynamism, with a frenetic pulse. If you seek the truth,
the physical blood and bones, then, by all means, open the world into which
we were all born,” Anne Burke, poet, regional representative for Alberta
on the League of Canadian Poets’ Council, and chair of the Feminist Caucus.
“What a treasure Allison Grayhurst is. Her gift? To unfold for us life at this intensity of feeling and revelation. Who knew truth and beauty could be so intertwined and so passionate?,” Taylor Jane Green BA, RIHR, CH, Registered Holistic Talk Therapist, and author of Swan Wheeler: A North American Mythology, Swan – A Planetary Mythology, and The Rise of Eros, 2014.
