I knew I'd express it pretty soon. It came about 4 hours ago, in a double octet, to show the 2 slip-strike quakes that hit.
ON and Off again
I feel a little bloated now
Diets to feel slightly slimmer
All my clothes like sacks
Weight loss stars earned
Gone pounds and stones
Single size shape
Wasting
Down
Regressed
Resolve gone
Binged again and sobbed
Scales like men don't lie
Calories traffic lights all ate
Again the refilled hourglass
For heartbreaks need to masticate
Diets to feel slightly slimmer
All my clothes like sacks
Weight loss stars earned
Gone pounds and stones
Single size shape
Wasting
Down
Regressed
Resolve gone
Binged again and sobbed
Scales like men don't lie
Calories traffic lights all ate
Again the refilled hourglass
For heartbreaks need to masticate

Her smile
Lying there in her bed, smiling,
Astaire's "Cheek to Cheek", playing,
For her, they were happy,
Her spirit so free,
From ear to ear,
Grin severe,
Knife cut,
Blood....

Need Help, Family Time, and Compassion
Don't even ask, always helping,
Don't always hear me yelping,
Myself, for help, crying,
Exasperated,
They get upset,
When they hear,
My fears,
Tears.
Alone,
Me, forgone,
When I need them.
Me, they do condemn,
See my heart as a brat,
Feelings, held in, can't see that,
Until seeing, breaking point, bad.

While We Were Both Posing Nude For Art Class
It was while we were both posing
nude for art class that I had
suddenly felt her hand
going down my leg
and to this one
certain stiff
rod of
mine.

You're a true artist, Jade! Thanks for this entry, which blesses the page with poise and purpose.
July 4 seems to be propitious to both Josh and you in similar ways.
