she
never removed her clothes in the light
or
posed for the flash
glaring at all the lines
shaping her make
she never
showed you the way in
to the deepest part
nor left behind a key
beneath the mat
she
kept herself tightly wound
measuring time in metronome
within a book within a comb within
a ball of yarn
played with but never
unwound
she
didn’t tell you the truth when you asked her
to reveal secrets
she told you of the stars and moon sprung apart in divinity
and let you believe
she’d told you who
she was
and when
you saw her cut her hair
scythe slicing history in swath
long tresses falling like fingers down a drain
following the passage of tears and footsteps
taken to stand here
you asked her
why?
and she looked at you
with her shorn face and her
sharp eyes smudged with doubt
and said
didn’t you see my nudity?
didn’t you see me crying?
behind my hair all these years?

I miss you too. You can always find me. After I deal the World Series of poker I look to come out to Texas if you’re in town;)
So you are in the play after all? Congrats!
I am very obscure, lost in my own personal fog.
I think more people should be obscure everything is so predictable
There’s a normal?!
Well I am dealing:)
Hi I never saw your blog before now when I did this poetry of yours was something I fell in love with its so wonderful how you described a girl’s life who has some complications. I went on and on read it trice I didn’t wanted this poetry to end but yeah everything has to end so anyway what you did with this one was truly breathtaking. Truly loved it.
Thank you I really appreciate that you like my blog and posts that’s very good to hear and I am very grateful to you. I really appreciate your support.
I’m really proud of you Paul
Surely not! 😉
Its ironic I read most of your posts and found your words really supportive.
I’m very glad you do.
LOL !
Damn!!!!!!!!! I freaking love this
There she is! (waves) I hope you are okay, thank you so much it really makes me smile and happy when you read and like what I have written
I’ve been in a funk! But just so you know I got to your site every night before I got to bed and read your words:) I just comment in my own head!!!
WOW! I didn’t know that! Now my head is all swollen! I’m sorry you have been in a funk I know that feeling I would not wish it upon you. I hope that lifts soon. Your writing and your message is important never stifle your voice you have a valuable and necessary voice and message that people need to hear and that includes myself.
Heck yeah! I ALWAYS read what you write. Some part of it I can always feel or resonate with. It may be one line or one word or the entire thing but I love your writing.
🙂
So interesting… we all do this though (to varying degrees)… we hide our true selves and then wonder why no one “sees” us.
EXACTLY you totally got that I’m really glad I conveyed what I meant clearly as I wasn’t sure I had and I am equally appreciative of you reading this and commenting thank you dear Melanie xo
