Glitter in My Teacup

No certainty other than
The glitter in my teacup.

Work/life, personal/political
Life with diverse faces
Betrays the war within.

Flitting, floating …
I glide.
All oneself. All one life.

Decades lost chasing golden circles.
Always just beyond.

Struggling to surpass
Ladies who lunch, or
Mothers who bake.
Not quite a bitch, but always a witch
At home, in sterile hallways and crowded boardrooms
24/7, everyday
Phone on:
Beep beep, beep, beep.

Square peg in a round hole
Grey suits didn’t fit.
“And different”, but not different enough

The world tumbled

on a wash cycle.

Drip drying,

I rise
