In the storm Words rush out Unfettered Thank you For taking me seriously And also Not seriously For getting it My friend #apoemadayalmost
Random
Random bits coalesce And I'm undone Trying to finish The quilt we started A meal so far in the future That it should Be irrelevant today And yet it is. Where are you dear heart? I miss you. #apoemaday
Lament
When you silence me
I am diminished
And I will not be diminished
I'll just choose
Differently
Whom I trust my voice to
I
Will
Not
Be
Diminished
And you will be the poorer for it.
#apoemaday
Lament 3.0
The storm wasn't in the forecast
And I almost drowned
Waves crashed over me
I lost my way
I couldn't find the shore
Till
You rescued me.
#apoemaday
Lies
When you tell
A different story
Than
What
Actually
Happened
Like 'When we separated"
Instead of "When I left"
You lie.
#apoemaday
Lament 1.0
It should be illegal
To cause the kind of suffering you caused
It should be illegal
I wait in hope for justice.
From a higher court
I plead my case with Him

The Tablecloth
Who will think of me now#apoemaday
I wonder
As I put out the tablecloth
You found for me
A 1$ Thrift store find
You knew it was perfect
And it was/is
Who will think of me now
That you're gone.
Our Photo
I glance at our photo
Arms around one another
In easy comfort
I know you
You know me
I Glance
Not Gaze
I can take you in
In bits
And pieces
Only
Too much
And I am undone
#apoemaday
Laundry Soap
I used the last of the laundry soap today
The laundry soap that you left behind
It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be
Getting to the end of the pail
The pail that you used
Everyday
Everyday before you moved to heaven that is
Heaven
Where no laundry gets done
I guess
#apoemaday
Firmament
Stretched out on the rock
Firmament beneath me
Breathed in the earth
Decided to stay
(even while you're not here)
My home
For now
#apoemaday
