A flash of your hand an unbidden memory I remember those fingers and suddenly I'm no longer quite so horny not so eager to lift my whip to laugh with joy at the crack of his hip there I see concealing your face the very hand that laid me waste you coaxed the words right from my lips tiny swords with frightening clip and just when I began to think I could justify my kitchen sink you laid me waste
I said to you would you like to see the very breath that you've knocked from me and you said you thought it was quite a treat to see the way I shift my feet to accomodate the earth below and you intimidate a confession free that I had buried so deep in me and laid to waste
you never thought that I'd buy that you say you brought the cat's own hat but listen here I've seen that trick you played it there with nary a lick and then you laid me ever so quick to waste
Long time since I read you April and its reassuring to see you are as dark and brooding as ever and your writing is as thoughtful and well crafted. Interesting rhymes and a nice mix of defiance and vulnerability.
I will not leave it so long next time,

A passionate and poignant memoir written by a woman whose life has been guided by the words: "I am here to learn how to love well." The book is a deep examination of relationships, family, motivation, and honoring of the Self.
She never felt safe at home as a young girl, and didn't understand why when she finally escaped she wasn't safe in the big wide world either ...effectively jumping out of the frying pan into the fire!
