Half full (of empty)
She hears her name a heartbeat,
called between flickers of fluorescence.
Tuned to the vibration of neon,
she has affirmed herself
a role.
I hear every letter yelled
at once,
without distinction.
My universe mistakes
pinning dead moths to boards,
for depth.

I'm liking this one LB, but....
I won't lie. Where did the other one (henpecking)go ?
Did I hurt your feelings ? I hope not. Cause I adored it :)

Haha..didn't know you commented on that one...i would love to hear your notes, because i'm sitting on that one... I like the idea alot of it, but feel it can be worded better.
For whatever reason, i kept trying to tie this one with that one, and felt it necessary to just cut this free..we'll see if it walks.
Thanks maggie

First -
"Henpecking" was funny, in an intelligent way. (yes.... that is rare. lol)
Secondly -
It was TRUE !
I was going to print it out, and hand it to my husband over supper.
Don't conjoin these. I would work on this one a bit. I think you have something here, but...
Henpecking stood on its own quite nicely in my opinion. :)

Melancholy, and yet self deprecatingly humourous. I can relate. :) Very much enjoying your shorter introspective piece. Like this one very much.

Awesome!. I'm guessing the moths were burned to death in the light?
Minor typo Fluorescence.
Great poem.
