you dangled your leaf
in this night of recession
when I struggle to sanctify
the day from the deed
in the grace of the yellow
in the windsweeping
moment, you bought back
an exit, for the flatlining me

Interesting combination of dreary thought, Emma. Not to fear, I am well acquainted with dreary thought, as least I used to be. Keep writing, you will eventually write yourself out of the darkness. I did. you can.

Really nice poem EmmaRose.  I can also appreciate your reply to JP, vanilla is so safe it's the darkness and the feelings they conjur up that tend to make for good poetry....inspite of ourselves.

Always a pleasure to read you~

Whilst I differ about vanilla (but what would the world be if we were replicas of each other?) and find that it can be soft-slow comforting when discovered from a slanted gaze - this poem, as all of yours, is beautiful beyond beautiful.
