I cannot find
the right words
and nor can you
so we choose
silence.

I was born
yesterday
but I do my best
to live
today

Can someone  teach me
how to be
the woman
my mother always said
I should be?

I heard you came home. last night
or the night before
our town is a small town
news is never quite up to date
still
I heard you came home last night
and  I wonder
what the **** does that
feel like?

I see
you want me to applaud
your love
but
sadly I can’t
on this occasion
happily
I’m all clapped out
Frances Raeburn Sep 2024
Millions of words
reign down upon my head
each day
if I could absorb half
I would be a hero
to myself
as it goes
I feel
the noise of too many voices
hurt my soul
create a hole
even I
cannot climb out of.
