Marriage Vows
Heat’s Bite
Yes
Warmth is good
But
Sometimes too much
As body
Overheats quickly
It’s the near boiling bath
Steaming bones
Or
The electric blanket
Firey-swath zone
That first sear
Drawing cold near
To nestle up into
Shocking
Clear
Jolting
Reassuring
Claiming
Nourishing
Skin
Forced open
To sweat
Licking wounds

All Along
One day he turned to look – and found that she’d been waiting for him, tethered…
(Ready Set Go – BNZA)
She Took Aim
“Targeting the core truths of her own heart.”
I’m Just Not
“I’d like to say that I’m on top of things, but I just spilled half-n-half onto my favorite carpet, and I don’t want to put out ant traps tonight because I just want to let the evening end peacefully.
What really is ‘on top of things,’ anyway?
I think it’s time for me to change my interpretation and self expectations.”
Coming To Terms
She loved him.
Period.
Whatever that meant from here on forward, she would no longer fight it.

Questions
Asking Asking Asking them’s
Only way to dig up answers!
Flush
“”I was helped today in getting my car insurance turned back on so I can function, then told that I could pay it back when I am ‘flush.’
Flush…
How am I going to attain anything near that spectrum, again?”
I Am Reminded
“Of specifics in how I made it through past versions of rough patches.
I did not want a refresher – yet more advanced course in this.
‘No Sir…don’t like it.'”
Not Much Rest
“For the weary, in my house.”
(Can I Call You – David Archuleta)
“CAW!”
(After All The Bars Are Closed – Thomas Rhett)
I Hate It
“Wearing the poverty cap.”
Tests Of Endurance
“Maybe it isn’t all a game, but…”
Maybe
“He got a ‘better’ offer…
He deserves ‘the best.'”
Laughter In The Dark
“I see younger couples carrying their toddlers for distance – and even a single mom with like a 6 year old as she carried a cumbersomly frontloaded baby carrier with a newborn in it.
My muscle synapsis scream as I phantom flex remembering how I, too, used to do such things.
And all I can think of while viewing these still-resourced wonders is, “Why aren’t you utilizing strollers and carts?”
Neurofeedback
“Well…apparently I had needed to cry a-lot, and its an indicator of love’s unrequited influence.”
Damage Control
“What is that again, exactly?:
(You’re In Love – Movie Howl’s Moving Castle)
Never Forgotten: Wanted
Dear Friend,
“I was able to show you my rare phoenix, but mostly I have to scrabble for sustenance in one of my other forms – and there’s a lot of concern, worry, and even fear for my survival involved.”
Short-Stopped
“You were made for this,” giving barely a kiss, the brief visiting younger guy said.
And she realized she had to end it with him.
She was made for a bonding man.
(Better With Me – Shadow Beloved)
Part Of Me
He saw her sitting in her car, immersed in a serious phone video call.
What did he think of her when he saw her like this in reality.
Was there respect and admiration, or did he decide he was barking up the wrong tree?

I Am
“Liking these curls, though!”
For A Moment
“I can stand straight – because I fight hard every day to regain such brief moments.”
Getting Cozy
“Hello, Crone…
At least I beat you back for thirteen years.
Although it’s clear you haven’t fought fair.
What the fu** do you want from me?!
And those hype-rs applauding ” Ooh, make friends with your inner crone!” can just keep walkung past me.
There you go, now – just keep. On. Walkin’…”
You Know
“It’s kind of shitty having disability.
I already knew this from caring for others outside of it.
But gee, look – now I get to have the same prize!”
A Woman’s Reality
“I need to be provided for.
Not just want, now – but need.
Where’s pride and safety come in?”
Tired Thematics
Unrequieted love
Injuries twisting pain
Financial instability
More Financial Battles?
“No…just fecking no.”
Nope
“No school work today, and no rest tomorrow as bills and services cancel.
There is no easy way through.
No wonder I just want to stop and not try anymore.”
Out Of Gas
Literally.
Part Of You (Teardrop – Elderbrook & Jan BlomqvistVideo)

Second Chances
She’d seen him walking toward her, and then later walking away.
Would he return – or was that his only advancement?

She needed the man inside his body.”
