Maybe you had to die for me to live
Sometimes I worry
that I don’t really miss you as I should.
My daily life was never good
at making space and time for you
(perhaps an unintended legacy
of the independence you encouraged?)
Now that you’re gone from this space and time
the guilt of that failure
has mostly gone with you.
No “when will I see you next?”
or long conversations
at inconvenient times
(oh, how selfish that sounds!)
And though I say I feel grief
what’s often stronger is relief
that I don’t need to filter ...
that I don’t really miss you as I should.

Lady Dark~Series
my darkness escaped me and assaulted my soul
weeping in the atmosphere
shrinking in the noise
Lady Dark got to me
leaving me chained in the verses, she explained herself
with a vicious jealousy over me
sanctified night I still shiver
retelling the chaos in the light
telling my Father what his Goddess Madness had done
she was allowed out of her confines to visit me
speaking despicable things
sparking a fire under the man I love
engaging him directly
in an unseemly fashion
I cringe hearing her,...

Mother bird
There’s a bird in the house!
There’s a bird in the house!
But was it really a bird?
Or was it actually my mother?
There’s a bird in the house!
There’s a bird in the house!
But if it was my mother,
Then she could’ve just suddenly appeared!
There’s a bird in the house!
There’s a bird in the house!
She just came to say hello,
And appeared in the only form she could ✨
There’s a bird in the house!
But was it really a bird?
Or was it actually my mother?
There’s a bird in the house!
There’s a bird in the house!
But if it was my mother,
Then she could’ve just suddenly appeared!
There’s a bird in the house!
There’s a bird in the house!
She just came to say hello,
And appeared in the only form she could ✨

mom's badassery
4 of 30
she was born to a family who had no use for daughters
doting on 3 sons...little girl practically forgotten
shuffled off to live with relatives & boarding school
because her own parents didn't know what to do with her
...or maybe they just couldn't be bothered
I used to believe she was incredibly sheltered
so much in life seemed to shock her
turns out...that wasn't it...
she was reared to be seen...keep quiet & be pretty
most importantly...expected to marry
...within or above her supposed station ...

Money Damages Love
He wants mom to die
Inheritance will be grand
Greed has made him vile

A story of Mom and me (and you)
Just a girl in the 40s with expansive thoughts,
wearing pigtails and coke-bottle glasses --
they knew she was different; they even ran tests,
but found no diagnosis to label
a girl with a hunger and singular drive
to unpack the whole human condition.
She did it through books, for she wasn’t content
to just live her one given life.
In search of connection, the characters there
were as real as the ones in the flesh.
And though she did marriage, and children, and jobs,
it was story that held her attention.
She studied...
