Swelling moon, near full, you bore in deep,
night's sky curtain splits in your wake.
I am prepped and draped in this manner,
my heart shunted, my soul drains free.
Moonshadow, you too, lurk in search of me,
nearly satiated, brimming over, yet you thirst.
Yearning, you drain my marrow, burrowing in.
Hollowing out my bones, you sponge me clean.

beautiful:)i wish i could say more, but i think awed in beauty says it all for this poem
In a post-coup America, an Illinois farm boy is drawn into the resistance by his brother's death. Captured, he is given a choice: betray his friends, or the girl he loves will be lobotomized.
'Better Without You'is a compelling narrative that explores the complexities of an affair, hidden secrets, and abuse. It also highlights a daughter's heartfelt journey as she cares for her mother who is battling dementia.
I always love your style
