The storm approaches on anvil-black heels, twisting her skirts about her; birds clot beneath a sulpherous sky; fields flicker with unholy light. Lightning pulses to a frenetic beat, rhythm out-of-sync with mine; the howling curses of thunder expand to fear inducing levels ...
pulled from the deep breath of sleep, I wake into the safety of the bed ------ only a nightmare as the heat continues its monotonous grip.
Karla,
Not only is this just stunning poetry..it's stunning truth as well!
This heat has got to give sooner or later..and I choose sooner rather than later!
Good to read you again!

A poignant story about letting go of a narcissist in your life. Have you ever been attacked FULL force by a narcissist? It's the closest thing to being stabbed over and over in the back.

Goodness dear Karla - this was as powerful an image as I've ever seen you write. I almost fell off my chair. Brava Poet.
Give that monotonous grip several tongue lashings, perhaps then it will relinquish its hold on the weather.
