Don’t Worry

yes, don’t worry
I washed the sheets
there is no evidence
no, none of you
none that you even exist
except in that brown space
that are my emotions
that over used paper bag
creased over and over again
folded now so empty

maybe tomorrow
I will use it myself
to carry my lunch in
a silence breaking crumble
for another left-over

just some words cut out
from the diary of my heart

The Washing Stream

Beyond barred windows,
shadows cover the garden,

shadows slide over the curtain
as I play my lute in silence.

Distant mountains stretch the sunset,
breezes bring clouds and rain.

The pear blossoms fade and die,
and I can’t keep them from falling.

Yes...fill it with something that's yours and put it to use!

....but don't throw it away, you'll need it again.

Oh Helen..

I recently did the same...

a purging of my own ignorance so to speak..

Leftovers are over rated.

Don't you ever sell yourself short, or settle for less Helen~

Nice venting!
