Undermined by a Narcotic Lullaby
The future begins
to creak
I don't want to die
without you
There is so much to say
I've said too much
I had thoughts of singing
Freefall, the flloorboards
creak
On that side if you
have stones in
your pockets
I had thoughts of being free
Tidepools wrap the rope twice
around Willow branch
the rope won't
creak
while swinging
I had thoughts of flying
Windswept Leaves piled
high behind the screen door
neighbors dog barks
on point as the shutters
creak
in the wind
I had thoughts of dying
The thoughts I had were
undermined
By a narcotic lullaby

This is so very sad and so well written, there is a desperation and a longing in these words.

Such raw sadness expressed here. I'm not sure if using
"The thoughts I had were
undermined
By a narcotic lullaby"...
were inspired by truth, but I love the expression and it made for a great ending. Vulnerabilities laid bare too, if so.
I'm sorry about your husband, when one hurts, both suffer. May his burdens be light and healing come.🌷🌻

I l love the imagery present and I can definitely relate to your work as I've often wondered what it would feel like to soar through the air.
