I stumbled blindly into marriage
twice, but thankfully soon thereafter
I fully regained my sight.

Become a (wo)man of peace
help the world, be content,
it isn’t up to governments.

Celebrate your free heart
in grateful virtue and
with modest speech.

Soothe the ever angry,
invite them in and dare trust;
be proud equals not at odds.

With new friends welcome,
double joys by sharing,
save the planet by being happy

Loving people is complicated
and a lot of work! At some point
we just want to retire.

Bleeding...
We stepped
toward each
other's wounds
with gentle
feet and danced
outside; but
now the bleeding
has resumed
and the blood
is hard to hide.

I don't care
I never did
I never will

I don't care about the stabs
I don't care about the lies
I don't care about the loss

I never did
I never will

I don't care about you abandoning me in the middle of nowhere or making me doubt every single person I meet or forcing me to look at the mirror and despise the foolishness I had.

I don't care about all the above.

I try to convince myself every night that I don't.
But, I do;
I fully keenly wholesomely do care and my care was my doom.

Press me against you
Like flowers in a book
