Occupy Myself
Rosa Naparstek
To Whom It May Concern:
I hereby announce that
I will refrain from
All altercation with
Each and every one of you.
I will not agree or disagree,
Judge, persuade, cajole,
Encourage or discourage,
Applaud or seek coherence.
You can all have your say
From within every part of me
That lives and I promise to listen,
Demur from coercion and do as
I will, having heard.
It is no longer sufficient to
Please, placate, pander, protect
What cannot or should not be saved.

Not a Palindrome
Rosa Naparstek
The Eye of the storm that stays quiet
Knows the swirling and twirling around it
Hurling this and that is
Never as interesting or real as
The I of the storm that stays silent.
