Day 739 – making omelettes (Dempsey)

Day 739 of the Daily Poems … and our poet Janice Dempsey sees freedom in a poem that is for anyone who has found themselves in a dead end in their life and has had to cut their losses, has had to break up present boundaries in order to find a ‘portal’ out and make progress toward a more creative path.

making omelettes

where mined doorways stand wide
stretch fists to the constricting walls
rend tear rip crack 
                            beat off the dark wing of what has been
turn in the grave of your life
          then in light
                            rebuild

Janice Dempsey
