New #poem by Jacob Friesenhahn captures the spirit of San Antonio's iconic Liberty Bar on Alamo Street—the second in a pair exploring this beloved landmark. The poem meditates on hunger and remembrance, set in a former convent where devotion lives on in the intimate rituals of table: https://lastgrotto.net/posts/liberty-bar-2/ #Poetry #ContemporaryPoetry #PoetryCommunity #PlacePoetics #AmericanLiterature #SanAntonio

"I'm still a girl
in an empty room,
Dancing with demons,
Loving a ghost."

Invulnerable

Invulnerable

I roar defiance
in the face of each insult
this life throws at me;
nor will I forget to raise
a shield that will never break.

Struggle

Better emptiness
than this anger that still boils
in my darkest soul.

I will shimmer my skin with starlight
while my soul converses with night things
holy peace gathering in my bones
like frost hardened on naked aspens.

#poetrycommunity my shadow dissolves and I ascend into the heavenly gates
adorned in feathers roses pearls and the smell of patchouli
they step forward my spirit council saying job well done
look at you radiant and bright your knowledge vast
and you remember fast

our beautiful child of light keep going
the gates are opening

I fall into the arms of the oak strong and brave
I feel them as they sway
I am laid gently on a field of flowers
where the sun shines
and the pain never stays
