Turn of the Blade
AprilDawn Apr 2022
it seems
you somehow slithered  away  
from an earthbound
judgement day

make no mistake
very soon
I Will Finally Know Your Name  


Two decades of
investigations  surrounded
that fatal altercation

What did you feel
as you stabbed
    him
repeatedly
and then just
walked away

Do regrets hound you
in the middle of the night

I can only hope
the devil  lies in wait
for your final days

somehow
you slithered  away  
from an earthbound
judgment day
I have not written anything for  2 years  at least. I felt the need to  talk about recent developments in my life.My husband of 20 years was murdered at work  July 2002.We are at the point of disclosure  finally , but do not  have a solid enough case to indict. Bittersweet and frustrating for us, extended  family  and  all the  investigators and manhours poured into this investigation.

I Am Still

dying
to know how
you were stolen from
the light of day.
Many  unanswered questions after  the sudden death of my partner of over  20 years still remain , nearly 12 years later.

Shoulders High
AprilDawn Sep 14
above the fray
is always  something
I'd  try to say
mine are so  slight  
padding them
  back in the day
always  helped
the mirage  of  broadness
even though the load  
was so little
then
in a  blur
life  was stacked
  and packed
so high and wide  
now my shoulders
ache at night  
held any which way
above the fray
Aging up  is a blessing and a curse

— The End —
