Writers' Village members look forward to reading more of Mary's work.

I Am Number Five I am isolation, a pilgrimage to meditation, a sojourn to menstruation, salvation, damnation, hungry and full as the moon. I am a kaleidoscopic surge of emotional energies. Let me show you how to burn the sun. I burst upon a barbaric future unfolding at your feet. Walk on me, I am your destiny. Apocalyptic, and miniscule, easy on the eye, brilliant and empty. I am one of you, timeless on the bridge between. I am an unconventional celebration of conception, infiltration, inspiration and joy. I instantaneously translate myself, a fugitive unconsciously alert. We are the reality of imagination. Imagine me and you. Now you know me. I am transcendentally true and strange, independently dedicated to spontaneous internal combustion. I ignite the spectacular explosion of my life. Step aside as I blaze upon your horizon. copyright © 2000 by Maryann Hazen-Stearns
