Some days it's more difficult to look at than others. I know I'm not the only one.

#AmpersandAfterDark
saturday on the calendar,
six years of plans written there,
now just a date.

Have I become a novelty?
your ex-wife with a shelf-life
that you must rush to hide?
I would erase me too,
no one should
know who
you really are
and I can keep being
the possessed Annabelle,
capable of making
grown men become
abusive assholes

4/5

...snowflakes
Cover my branches

It was not my intent to drink his blood

Now I am incensed
At humanity's
Primeval chicanery
And atrocities

Wait until my roots are free...

This was a very difficult write for me because only one thing rose to the surface, as it has done for over 50 years.

six inches of black thread got me thinking about instructions for unraveling

A rip in a lace dress
the kind your mother
would not approve
hidden deep in a closet
from judging eyes
and chattering mouths
Measure out enough
six inches of black thread
little by little and
inch by inch
sew up the remnants
of embarrassed despair

#AmpersandAfterDark #SixInchesOfBlackThread

Six inches of black thread
One knot tied for each year

Six inches of knotted thread
Reminding me of us and you

Black thread wrapped ‘round my finger
Like a wedding ring

Tattoos don't always need to be ink, do they?

Six inches of black thread
to hold on to
is never enough
as I spin into another world
take me back in your arms
and hold me
as time speaks to nobody
until its too late
