dolor in painted
hues of screaming red, bursting
You left me in cold.
My work:
Patheos,
The Job, The Space Between Us, Green,
The Unlikely Bounty, Straight Love, The Heart Factory, The Half Paper Moon, I am Bexley and Atonement by JMS Books
Silent Bites by Eukalypto
How does it work?
Powerful words, Melissa. I see the red heat, then cold, stark blue. This is really well done.
This was so intense and heartbreaking! Loved your poem!
I object. I did not such thing (as far as I can remember). Poignant & plaintive.
It’s hard when someone just left you in the cold dust. It’s a complete let down 😔Still sending you and your family good vibes and prayers ❤️🙏🏽

“And she’s going to learn that this life will hit you, hard, in the face, wait for you to get back up, just so it can kick you in the stomach but getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.” — Sarah Kay’s Poem — If I Should Have a Daughter
