Summary:
Meh...

don’t 

I just…

today is not a good day

…not for sarcasm 

or good natured teasing

trust me…

good is not how I’ll read it

words like gashes & blisters

waiting for the drainage

 

I’m watching shadows of the wind

slicing pieces off yesterday to feed me

such bitter fruit…

with its beautiful bite

& the irony of its truth

…”I’ll never leave you”…

it’s not an idle threat

they remain long after they left

haunting little whispers

& restricted breaths

 

your rock…your constant…your mountain…

whatever the solid…

hollow…

like the flavor of empty phrases

still lingering…

gone….but never leaving

no…

today is not a good time for gaiety 

I don’t have it in me

  1. Amazing, Willow. You keep impressing me with lines like, “slicing pieces off yesterday to feed me.” So strong and beautiful simultaneously. Keep it up. Please. And thanks for the audio version; you know I can’t help but gravitate to that. It is so well done.
