She hated me because I knew I'm good at puzzles not a sleuth but now she's dead and I hold truth swallowing like it is puke halfway up my throat so I do not sing I do not cry I-do-not-understand I died the day I drank her poison-lies... I watch her being sanctified, but place those portraits face-first-down the way they useta tell the truth in wise women ways. |

Very expressive and thought-provoking! Thank you for sharing! And I want to ask you about the word "useta". Is it a short form of "use to" like "gonna" and so on? I just never met it before. |

Give that woman a kupie doll for tellin' it like it is. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

You go, girl! This must have been superbly cathartic to write, Karen. I love the controlled power you responded with "in wise women ways," in comparison to her unbridled attack. Owl |

This is written so well it puts me in mind of a tailor made suit-each word a perfect stitch. Lori  |

Well now. I'm glad I got THAT outta me--sorry for messin' up the place. AGAIN.  Puke. One syllable word that packs a punch. I guess you guys have figured out that I do not kid myself about what I write. There's no cleansing ritual of bath and oil annointment, I do not don white robes to walk down some hallowed hall past statues of the great poets so I can sit at a glowing white keyboard. *chuckle* It's okay if any of ya'll do, I just don't. And as for useta? I had a couple of beers and had just finished a country music parody, so I was stuck in that thought-mode. Words? Sometimes I just make 'em up.  Thanks once again for indulging me with your time. The first part was just because I'd heard of the custom of burying people face down if they were thought to be going to Hell. The devil's in the details, and I've was ruined by a class in anthropology long ago. *shrug* Love to you all. |

Sometimes wisdom comes at severe prices. Knowing that women are far wiser than men, I cringe to think of the priced you must've paid to write this piece. It's amazingly unfair women don't have a soft spot worth kicking like men do. Love your style, and the severity of this.Michael |

so I do not sing I do not cry I-do-not-understand I died the day I drank her poison-lies... I watch her being sanctified, Dear Karen, thank you for writing this incredibly powerful piece. I relate more than I would like to ... it is as if I was "one" with you while reading this. Pure expressive excellence. Love and hugs. Margherita "Love is the One who masters all things; |
