She Must Be Mad – Marie Prichard

She is a lady, a loving wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, and an educated, contributing member of society. And fuck is her favorite word. Is she mad? Fuck. Fuck me. Fuck you. Fuck it. A well-placed fuck used alone, as a noun or as a verb, makes all the difference in the world … Continue reading She Must Be Mad – Marie Prichard

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings – Marie Prichard

When her song catches your ear And you hear it in the distance Do you ask yourself why the caged bird sings? Or do you say, I know why the caged bird sings. She sings when her world closes in Locked in a gilded cage Beautifully displayed On her scrolled stand Suspended high. She sings … Continue reading I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings – Marie Prichard

My Body is Not an Apology – Marie Prichard

Poet’s Love Song

I see you yes, you poet you who lives behind the misty veil dwelling in the border between this world and a hundred other shadow worlds I see you I see those ink-stained fingers that hold your pen like a lover that fly across the keyboard in a torrent before stopping, hesitating waiting for the flow of words to … Continue reading Poet’s Love Song
