Skay Hour 10

Beliefs

My Monstera Adansonii leaves
Have large gaping holes
Where light breaks through on the other side.
Leaves with windows she said.
If you peer through them you can see
The soul of the world outside.
Sometimes you can see the world
Beyond.
That’s why the leaves have slits, she said.
Then she lit camphor to drive spirits away

  1. This poem is my favorite of yours. I
    Love the spiritual quality of “Beliefs”. My favorite lines:
    “Sometimes you can see the world
    Beyond/That’s why the leaves have slits, she said” These words spoke to me.

  2. The leaf as a window to the other side of life.
    The leaf as a mirror of life.
    The leaf as a call to action.

    Again, sounds simple but reads deep.

    In line 4, comma after window.
