Crazyquilt
Numbness creeping in
Like poison vines strangling
New growth amidst fresh earth
Weeping tears into mud
Feral cries of grief
Splinter the air
Like shards of glass
From a broken mirror
Pick up the pieces
Bleed through the pain
It's just one cut of many
Embracing the insane
All my demons
Out on the town
One by one
They swallow you down
Repressed no more
I've shown them the door
The gloves are off
And they've come out to play

Dear Carrie
I really liked this. I think it felt different to your normal fare. I don't know what it is I can't put my finger on it. It doesn't matter but I loved it.
Brava you go girl!
Love and hugs Jayne xox

Oh there it is
I was on hiatus. We talked about this one but you didn’t send me the title. Which I love for reasons completely unrelated to the poem. The poem is raw and I adore it.
