Undomesticated: a #TankaProse #Quadrille

Did you imagine, for even a moment, that I was anything else but wild? None domesticate me. I’m untamable.

But don’t be afraid!

I am for you. Always.

fiery tongues

an unceasing wind

buffeting a house

“illuminated by the

grace of the Holy Spirit…”

(The last line is from Gabriel Garcia Marquez, from his novel Love in the Time of Cholera.)

for dVerse Poet’s Quadrille #96: Wild Monday (pubtended by Kim Russell)

    I don’t mind the wild wind that buffets this old house, as long as I’m in it and the walls hold! That is a very good novel, btw.

    I did love the book (though the main characters were not all that nice), I do think we all want to have something wild inside.
