insecurity, he said
no
pain, loss, emptiness, longing
not insecurity
long ago, memory of insecurity
dream priestess, dream
cold sheets
the body records
a breeze
one little slip
life's blood drips, splashes, pools
offered on the altar of severity
what a mess -
memories of dreams
dreams of a future
fantasies of fur and freedom
flickering firelight casts memories
memories of futures undone
light is so light
the body, so heavy
spirit seeks release
tether, he was once her tether
held her
drew her back from the aether
back to herself
mind reels
spoon, silver?
a whole mouthful
gag me with a spoon!
bubblegum pops -
reality snaps back
drops for her eyes
her eyes drop
gaze fixed
a laugh!
a mad, maddening laugh
no, not insecurity
separation
cruel, meaningless separation
