The Light Being Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Tuesday, confusing, sinking - then the exciting
drive, several big trucks blocking my way, followed
the illegal taxi route, passed a red robot, swerving
across lanes, accelerating, the exhilarating highway,
peak traffic, preparing salad for dinner - suddenly
you remembered to show me the books came

Ordered for my birthday - from being stuck in Merde
I became a Light Being, taking flight into a dimension
of delight - you ordered these books express from far-
off America to South Africa in the blink of an eye; I'm
floating above life still rising because you're an angel -
I knew you to be one when we first met - but life

Made me forget; now you have proven yourself again
and I'm singing and dancing - our little daughter, our
little Ariel mermaid girl who distrusts her Scorpio father
and suspect her crocodile mother, ran off complaining
while this crocodile is standing on her tail, so overjoyed,
feeling as if my crocodile body has changed into

The Light Being which reptilian dreams present to me…
