Moon glow, nearly full, brimming, spilling over, providing a warm wash this frigid, crisp night, yet mocking me, taunting, the world, a double bed.
I walk alone, missing you, treading the marshlands yet another twilight hour, bent marsh grass underfoot, felled to side-lying, resting under a thick white blanket.
I feel the urge to jump, bounce this straw mattress, tall, but small, unbundled, longing to fall, flat to ground, imagining it our bed complete in warmth, with you for cover.
You're really growing. I can see it! Keep us reading!

bounce this straw mattress,
tall, but small, unbundled,
longing to fall, flat to ground,

Anne, this is wonderful in expression. Grabs at the heart.

anne, this poem is an absolute delight of expressed emotion. I was my pleasure reading it.
"Walking for Cover" is one of its kind... Everything within the emotions' pot to boil with the imagination to synchronize wonders to be pumped by an appreciative heart.
'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.

A homonymless man writes shows what it's like to look up the laid he skirts when you’re lying prone(d) to the sidewalk, beer / joint / needle dangling from your hand /lips / arm.
