the time for trading barbs was yesterday
sweetheart
today is a blank page
the funeral of spats is past
i don't believe in cremation
for burial aids new growth much better
hence the rotten rancid memories
am happy to make them compost
for the fresh and lush new vibrant greens reds and whites
the first thing you do
when you catch a sting ray
is to cut out the barbs
leaving you with the delicious meal
the wings
and the barbs...
don't just chuck them out
bury them
the new growth's mineral source

Relationships, love or other cannot grow or thrive without the continual rebirthing found only in the burial of weaponry. I love your bleak word selection creating a powerful stance that brooked no argument, such finality. Excellent work my dearest friend, Mad Respect,

Welcome

Welcome
is the review insightful.
humbled and honored, at the same time.
you've described the inherent details better than the ink itself. Says something about the keen insight you posess dear Friend.
Yes, the past cannot and should not hold the future to ransom with it's rancid stench, hence the burial, with it's nutrient rich slow decay is much better than a bonfire endangering the surrounds and the short-lived glow with no afterglow!
Appreciation.
immense!
