Blasphemous

Bled out.Life left me, time to head for check out.Can’t shout.Wife left me, no doubt she took the same route.Nothing but strangers in this crowd...Red pools reflecting clouds and planes.Another bloody out-of-body experience.Mudded by heavy rains. Speeding through these...

  Remind me not to get in a car with you! Wow, it took me a hot minute to figure out what was happening. I love the rhyme you use – feels like an antagonistic relationship peaking with a bad turn. I like how you explore the moment of death, the voiceless reality of finality… except, I can hear you.

    Haha you’ll be safe, I promise!
    
    I put this on paper when I heard about it on the news.
    The husband tried to end their lives because he found out she cheated on him.
    
    I wrote this piece from her perspective at first but, even though I despise the husband, writing it from his point of view came across way more powerful in my opinion.

  Stormy in Mississippi too! I love storms. I have no idea why I like them, but I love the analogy you draw between yourself and the ‘moody’ sea… the aftermath of destructive power… the hint of resolution and ultimate clarity. We live in a constant flux. The shoreline is so telling.

  A hypnotic journey into delusions and visions of madness. You’ve left me strapped up in a straitjacket.
