54. James Dean and Melinda connect
Anger drains away
Acknowledged, owned and known
Boil bursting
Easing hurting
Throbbing cools
peace renewal
Anger gives us self to learn
I use anger, fear and pain
To pinpoint needed change
Body wisdom
Spirit mind
show me where to use my time
Giving birth to Shadows death
I flow with peace and grace at last
it was an explosion of pain
The pain owned me and
I was consumed in it.
Jimmy was good.
Hour after hour a small girl cried
Aloud, denying, lies and holding
Jimmy was good, Jimmy was good
Jimmy was good, good good.
