Poison pokes his head
via my fisssure'd porch screen. . .
fork'd tongue finds my room

grabbing at the hoe
the blade severs your brainstem
you ooze indigo

reminds me of nights
when my heart bled in anguish
and my eyes turn'd black

but i took control
doing what i had to do
to disengage love

A wee bit of the duality of love here, Cynth'ya. First in being blindsided by a love that is unrequited and toxic, to the awakening into reality where we reach down deep and grasp all of our strength, lifting ourselves up through the heady fog back into a life that we can own and where, once again, we matter. Excellent Ku chain!
Take care,
Sherry

Discriptive write Cynth'ya. Easily understood. I like the comparison.
