the cave
Debra in Silence Aug 2019
It’s like a sink hole
Everything's going along then
Boom
You’re falling
You hit the bottom again and you have to find your way out of that

Don’t look at me
I’m filthy
***** muck
I’ll reach up as far as I can until
It hurts

the smell of dirt
Debra in Silence Sep 2019
i'm turning to honest
real
i was numb and not hearing your voice calling
i want to be sticky with sunshine and sand
i want to be an organic woman but i'm living in a world that demands work and discipline and only breathing from monday to friday at lunch times
my cake burned because i wanted it to be perfect
my cake is perfect
because it burned

A polly who sees only ticks on a page

Rush
Debra in Silence Aug 2019
My adrenalin is curdling
Douse me in rose water to dampen the steel blue and olive green in the mist
breathe
Gratitude and silver kettles
stepping stones
Complacent?
no
Diffident.
naivete surrenders

How can you be the keeper for so many people and love but just one
It has to be the longevity
