this foundation
barely holds its weight
I pick up building where you left off

thankful to you
that it didn't fall apart

but there are too many walls,
not enough beams
to support

and so much undoing
before rebuilding can start

If the Big Bang could mourn
do you think it would wish it was born less explosive?

It hurts to become
when you grow up destructive

This was too much to carry

I am letting it go

It was always too heavy

I've decided to float

started a revolution

to make the sun jealous

and it felt like redemption

to watch her sweat

all of these years
clenching my teeth
just hurt my head

it is swollen with grief
this was supposed to hurt you

a year so special
it brought a Russian doll
to the heart of Scotland
full of sugar, spice,
and cayenne pepper
the audacity of a woman
who spoke her mind
who meant what she said
when she said it the first time
1923 Oct 2021
a punch in the tough
didn't make the boy leave

it just
scared him off
