Swift justice
Shot in the knees
Crawling to his grave
Trying to be strong
Trying to be brave
Not his fault if the deal
Had gone wrong
But they did not care
Trials with these people
Were short
For there were none
So what if one was clean
And the other guy the thief.
No matter
Both would end up in graves
Dug up close by
And very near.
Crawling to his grave
Trying to be strong
Trying to be brave
Not his fault if the deal
Had gone wrong
But they did not care
Trials with these people
Were short
For there were none
So what if one was clean
And the other guy the thief.
No matter
Both would end up in graves
Dug up close by
And very near.

Reality Smacks Hard
Like 35 degrees and fog
After sunny and 85°…
Like a full house of cluttered chilly rooms
After a clean lanai sunset…
Like gazing down an abysmal fall
Finding the safety-bar broken
After the ride of my life
On this roller-coaster of you…
Like communication breakthrough
Only to awake and find love fled…
Like despair
After hope had bloomed…
Like monotonous repetition of years
Punctuated by stressors
After a taste of heaven.
Yes, reality
Smacks hardest
Just when the wings have strengthened
For flight
After sunny and 85°…
Like a full house of cluttered chilly rooms
After a clean lanai sunset…
Like gazing down an abysmal fall
Finding the safety-bar broken
After the ride of my life
On this roller-coaster of you…
Like communication breakthrough
Only to awake and find love fled…
Like despair
After hope had bloomed…
Like monotonous repetition of years
Punctuated by stressors
After a taste of heaven.
Yes, reality
Smacks hardest
Just when the wings have strengthened
For flight

Bed Expectations
I made the bed with knuckles cramped
and stomach churning from caffeine
removed all sheets and started clean
lifted linens, tightened corners
my frail knees buckled, sore shins screamed.
Misted perfume over cotton
-flattened creases, airing pillows
waving from my inflamed shoulders,
fluffing, fussing, folding fabric-
until the bed was neat.
And when my husband peaked to see
what, today, came over me, he
cried ‘far too often I have seen
this bed made with you in between
these sheets and nowhere else it seems!’ ...

Wrong.
No, it wasn't some huge meteorite.
It wasn't the tsunamis or
The terrible earthquakes
Or Andrea's fault.
No. It was the hand of God
Playing darts
On moving targets.
It wasn't the tsunamis or
The terrible earthquakes
Or Andrea's fault.
No. It was the hand of God

Under the willow
Look in the mirror
Your reflection means nothing
I see everything

Letters From a Trashy Housewife #2
I make a pretty shit housewife
So much so that I’m not a wife
And I don’t have a house
Fuck I don’t even have a partner anymore
I guess I should retitle the series
‘Letters From a Trashy Single-Mom’
Or
‘Letters From a Fucking Trailer Park Cliche’
Or
‘Letters From Just Another Stupid Girl Who Thought She Could Break the Cycle But She Was Just Too Fucking Weak’
Is it better to raise my daughter apart?
With my sanity at least partially intact?
Or is better to bite the bullet?
Sacrifice my happiness to play pretend? ...

He Won
I love him, but I don't want to.
He's not willing to do what he needs to.
I'm pretty sure he doesn't care anyways.
He's not consumed by me or in a daze.
He doesn't think about me like I do him.
His heart doesn't hurt like mine, he wins.
He got away easily with no regrets.
He even kept my heart when he left.
Mine just as well as every other female.
How did I allow to be treated this way?
Why do I fall harder the more I fight?
The more I stay away, the more I miss.
I still feel you everywhere.
On my lips, my...

Forsaken
I've carried this cross
For far too long
When will it end
Pain
Burden
Shame
Hurtin
STOP!
It ends here!
Place this cross
At my waiting grave
I'll climb on top
Just to be raped
Drive your nails of
Anger
Bitterness
Hatred
Sadness
Into my scarred hands
And one more time
Forsake me
Because I knew what I was doing
For far too long
When will it end
Pain
Burden
Shame
Hurtin
STOP!
It ends here!
Place this cross
At my waiting grave
I'll climb on top
Just to be raped
Drive your nails of
Anger
Bitterness
Hatred
Sadness
Into my scarred hands
And one more time
Forsake me
Because I knew what I was doing

Snip and cut
All was perfect in Martha's world. At forty-five, already a grandmother, she was glowing.
A nice house in a quiet suberb, a man who loved her dearly, going on since their High School days. Totally happy and content as she was working on her project for presentation at the sewing club in three weeks time. Her confection was a tight fitting black dress suitable for a cocktail evening or dinner at their favorite french restaurant, Chez Pierre.
Tight fitting, she was using Anaconda Foil Knit, medium weight fabric with some spandex. Also straps and just a bit of cleavage....
